Default Need help cannot find starter ground..
I am in the process of swaping a new motor into my beater. Everything is hooked up but I cannot seem to find the ground that bolts on to the starter. I have the blade connection off the harness hooked up but I cannot find the other connection. The car is a 1996 civic ex.

The ground wire for the starter is the G3 transmission ground wire.

Theres no direct ground to the starter itself, just the on RonJ mentioned. The larger wire going to the starter is a positive wire and comes from the underhood fuse box.

I found it coming off the bottom of the fuse box, I had placed it off to side and it was hidden in plain view!
