    I've got a faulty right front signal and parking light that traced to a bad ground connection south of the pigtail that goes to the light. It looks like that harness feeds into another larger harness that goes back to the fuse box area.

    Does anyone know where the common point is for the ground connections? (especially before I start un-doing all the wires in the fuse-box!)

    As there are no other (noticeable) ground problems, I think it may just be this one wire that has a problem....

    Thoughts...?

    Go to the owner's site, download the owners manual, and there is a schematic in there.

    On the left side, the grounds for the lights all come to a stud on the chassis. This is in the hole ahead of the spare tire tub and behind the radiator. I had a similar problem and found one of the grounds was loose. I assume that the right side would be similar.

    330gt-

    Thanks that helps me from a lot of unnecessary panel removal! I will check it when I get home tomorrow.

    I was trying not to get too side-tracked on this issue as I am 1/4 of the way through my belt change!
