CA Grounds

Anyone have a link to where all the grounds or at least where most of the grounds are for the fc? I'm pretty sure I have a bad ground somewhere but I can't seem to find it at all. I've cleaned all the ones that I could and nothing. The battery is also draining and I'm pretty sure it's also why my car doesn't idle right still. I've rebuilt my alternator so It's not that either.

Curious if you rebuilt your alternator,then did you get your Battery checked.
Often if the alternator goes it will have made the Battery "work overtime".A bad alternator can turn a good battery into a door stop..quick.

I have a red top optima and had it charged twice and I also tried a friends battery too. It just drains them.
