WARNING: It is recommended to only use
one eyelet per stud for high current
applications. If more than one eyelet per
stud is unavoidable, the highest current
eyelet feed should be connected closest
to the supply terminal. Do not exceed two
eyelets or crimp terminals per stud
connection. See figures E228188,
E228189 and the following table for
recommended ground points that can be
used.
CAUTIONS:
Only use the ground points indicated.
Using alternative points may affect the
vehicle integrity.
Make sure that all ground points are
tightened to the correct torque.
NOTE:
The Ground Point (GP) numbers are only
for reference to show the location of the GP.
Ground wires should be brought back to the Ford
ground points provided, please refer to the
following figures. For very high current users, it is
recommended that the ground connection is
made directly to the ground point close to the
battery ground point. An auxiliary ground stud
eyelet can be ordered
