Earth Problems behind Centre Console

Post by Gray14 »

Can anyone tell me where the main earth point behind the centre console is please, Eclat S2.2.

Have had ongoing problems here and want to knock it on the head.

Not sure if it is the same, but on the Excel the main earth point behind the dash is on the pedal box.

Pretty sure it's on the pedal box in the Elite S1 - but on the top, not at the side like the Excel. Look for an M6 captive nut.

Thanks folks, I think I understand where it's located, behind the instrument gauge panel.
