Grounding Locations

You must connect the chassis ground stud to a grounding point—usually
the vehicle's chassis—using recommended copper wire (if insulated then
green insulation with or without one or more yellow stripes) or larger.
For recommended chassis ground cable size, see "Sizing the Chassis
Ground Cable" on page 3–7.
