Default Dun goofed with engine bay wiring.

It's embarrassing, but I think we all have these moments. I forgot where to bolt a mount for what I'm guessing is a ground wire. '98 GS400



Thanks.

Using the bolt for the lower alternator mount?

when i first started modding and wasn't sure about things i would take a picture of how it looks before i touch it at many angles so i know and then as im undoing it i take some more pics.... never lets you down PLUS you will have a very detailed process if you need it

ThomasGS4 - Thank your for the picture!
Sakataj - I should do that more often. I'm usually pretty good when it comes to placement pf parts, connectors, etc. I definitely did that when rebuilding the OE carb on one of my Corollas. Those vacuum lines can be confusing.


I really wish I was able to document the whole process and post here. I may not post much here, but this forum have helped me IMMENSELY. I really want to start giving back to the community. Thanks!

I always take pics as Brian stated, in addition to labeling ALL wires with clear scotch tape and Sharpie. Rookie mistake that will just cause you some down time, eventually youll figure it out. for those doing swaps or working on engines 24/7, they know these locations in their sleep. Since my memory is the size of a walnut, tape and Sharpie.

Not a problem, NIXmx. This thread was right up my alley since I'm also dealing with alternator issues at the moment.
