Traditionally, the 8's grounds have been black.

Connector:
[Y][*]
[B/R]

The wiring manual says the B/R goes to a unit ground. I'd scan the diagram, but I don't have a scanner. I'd photographic with my crappy digital camera, but my friend has the connector. Maybe someone else can help you there.

Take a multimeter and do a continuity test.
