very basic question

this is going to sound dumb and im probably going to get flamed but where does the opposite end of the negative battery terminal plug in at? is it just a basic ground to the body or the engine? and where is it placed by factory, thanks and sorry to sound so dumb i only ask because i cant get any power to my car

.. and also check battery, the ground goes to the lower driver side strut tower, bolted in, and then runs to the bolt with the starter.

yes on the plastic holder that holds the maxi fuses there are little "doors" on each side of the main fuse.. that is the only "male" fuse there and it is screwed down with 10mm bolts

good luck.
