Just the positive from the front.

I have mines grounded to the top of
the rear strut using the bolt that holds
the strut. Use some sandpaper to get
all of the paint away before bolting it
down. Paint is your enemy when
grounding.

Hmm, haven't check mines at all,
what is it suppose to read? I'd also
make sure the ground on the engine
is good. Maybe he messed that up
also. $.02  Joel
