C5 Corvette Electrical Ground Location Documentation
Recently I've been having some fun electrical gremlins (video to come) in my Corvette, and apparently these corvettes are known for having grounding issues. I searched for information on ground locations, and found this very information forum post. Unfortunatley these days forums seem to be falling to the wayside in favor of social media groups, which are not indexable making searching for information much harder. So, in an effort to preserve the useful information from that post I am recreating that content here for archival purposes.
Since Corvettes seem to have issues with grounds, I have compiled a list of the Ground locations and the circuits attached with each ground for reference purposes. I thought others might benefit from this list.
