Where does this thing go?

Hi All,

I noticed a broken ground strap under the hood this morning, bolted to the firewall above the alternator. See picture:

Anyone know where the other end of this strap should be? Might explain some electrical issues I've been seeing lately. Appreciate the help, thanks in advance,

Edit: This is a 1996 GC.

Ground strap for the motor to body. Definitely replace it. Yes, you might experience some "gremlins" without it.

Where on the motor does the other end connect to? Thanks.

Clips onto the intake manifold, at the front bottom part. (near the spark plug)

Thanks whitebb. Couldn't find the other end of the strap so I ran a new one from the firewall to the alternator mounting bracket. No more random windshield wiper sweeps when the headlights and blower are on. Wipers are still not parking properly sometimes, but I'm not too concerned about that. Cheers!

That works as well. :cool:
