Does anybody have a list of where all the grounds are located on an 82 931? I can see a couple of places, but I was wondering if there was a ground bus similar to the 951 buried deep within the dash.

You'd have the same ground points as the other years. They're listed under "Ground Terminals" at the beginning of the 1979 wiring diagrams on Haynes pg. 257. "(1) near fuse / relay board" is a ring of grounds hidden up under the dash.

Thanks. I knew that the 951 had a ground bus but didn't know if the 931 had one as well. The 951 bus is up high on the firewall under the battery, and can have interesting problems when the infamous battery box leak leak occurs in that area.

I powered up the electrical system last week and there were some interesting symptoms. Most can be directly chased back to corrosion of grounds and other connections like bulb sockets.
