Subject:Re: where is fridge ground?
From:Tim Demarest

On my '85, It's actually behind the wall panel, forward of the fridge,
about in the vicinity of the sink. There is a ground screw in the top
surface of the horizontal frame member that sits about halfway down the
sidewall (just below the utility inlets).

You can't see it unless you pull the rear seat, the kitchen cabinets, and
the inner wall panel... I only know where it is because I did all that this
spring, in order to fix the creeping kitchen rust.

Here's a cheesy ASCII graphic (looking from the inside) in case the written
description doesn't do it for you.
