What'd I break now?
ok so theres a little black box thing bolted to the side by your air filter, is that grounded there or is it just attached there?
Story
Was installing the chrome looking ambers and decided to take a peek at this air box i got to remove from the fender. Well it looks like a huge chunk of it is missing(Ill post a picture tonight but later). So I start trying to remove it, theres one bolt that i see still holding it, by the battery so i undid that, and realized theres a part that runs about the tire well. The bolt there seemed to be on the side where that black box thing is attached. I started to loosen it and it broke off.
I plan to drill out that bolt but am i fine for now, that wasnt a goround too was it?
there was a hole to left of this broken bolt where ive got the box currently being help a push in tab

If you're talking about inside the fender underneath and theres wires coming from it, its some kind of abs module. I doubt its grounded but just incase I would reattach it the same way as before.

It's probably a ground, just sand off where the new hole is and bolt it on.

this is a common ground of your car...
take a metal screw and reattach it properly to the body of the car.... a plastic clip is not what you need to attach this

Keep it grounded. I believe they call that a "ground splice pack," not sure which one in particular..... |

Hmmm...like it would do that consistantly? Wouldn't it be fun to have it so that when you laid on the horn your lows, highs, and hazards light up with it?
I think I'm overtired.  |
