Default Where is the radiator ground wire on a 92-95 dx??

I apparently need to bolt this thing on to get my mini me started, but I'm not sure where it is! Can anyone post a pic?? The only wires coming off my "radiator housing" is the plug that plugs in front of the coolant overflow tank.

i dont know how much more specific i can be</TD></TR></TABLE>

Maybe he's talking about the ground that attaches to your radiator support?

I'll try to find a pic.

Its in the back of the block where the thermostat housing is... Your lower radiator hose connects to it... You will see like 2-3 black wires attached to the housing with a 10mm bolt... Sand down the O butt connecter and the mating surface on the housing and reattach... Actually do that to all your grounds... Sand off the paint and make sure all them have a nice, clean, metal to metal contact at both ends...

I thought you checked the grounds already... You have one on your valve cover, check your battery negative, the one by the tranny (to chasis) and the thrmostat housing one...

dont forget to check if water got into your block aswell... If it did the squeaking was probally the bearings...

OK, here's the thermostat...correct? And there are wires attached. I think it's all connected. I never unbolted anything from it during the swap. I sprayed it with some electric parts cleaner just now.
