There is a very large grounding bolt with an "octopus" of ground wires going to it. Duck under the driver's footwell and look up at the fuse panel. Then look even further up onto the frame and you'll see that bolt. Just use a "T" tap into any one of those ground wires or you can crimp on a ring on the end of your ground wire and remove the bolt and add the new ring to the cluster. I've always elected to use a "T".

i find that if you're gonna spend any time doing any wiring in this car -- just pull the seats out, lay some pillows on the floorboards, then put your feet up by the roll hoops and your head under the dash, and do what you've gotta do.

The screw ain't coming off. I tried the pliers, flat head, drilling a hole in the middle, etc... Thing ain't coming off. Thanks to everyone for suggestions, anybody know where i can buy the brackets? Someone suggested it earlier, i tried looking on the net, but can't seem to find it. I guess i'll call the dealer tomorrow to see if i can get one.


Also, does anyone know if my warranty is voided because i replace the car stereo myself? Cause my friend's gf was like, "Oh my gosh, your warranty is not going to valid anymore because you messed around with the car." Kinda made me wince, cause i'm not sure. I guess i'll read the warranty agreement on that one.

You warranty is fine dude. You should have put the screwdriver in the screw and tapped it with a small hammer or a pair of pliers. They should be that hard to get off.

Is there a post missing? "Screw"???? Not sure what you're working one but the grounding thing we're talking about is a BOLT. It takes a socket to undo. Why are you using pliers, screwdriver or even drilling a hole in the head?

I must really be losing it. What "brackets"?
