Does anyone here know where the rear lights earth on a Griffith 500?

Have tried tracing the wiring, but it's all glued under the boot carpet. Seems to head through the rear bulkhead on the passenger side, but there are no black wires in the loom on the other side?

Thanks,
Matt.

I know of 4 main earthing points.apart from direct to the Battery.

1 + 2.
Under the centre console literally behind the door open levers.There is a bolt either side of the console,these are generally in good condition but can come loose.

3
Theres a main earth that can bee seen throughthe drivers front wheel arch taht earths the chassis to engine and generally doesnt have any other wiring joined here, but is part of teh main earth.

4
I have personal experience of this one coming loose and cause all sorts of problems with my lights/indicators/dial Leds and Guages.
Its a bolt that also holds the body to the chassis and is accesable through the front grill and is situated under the left hand side of the Radiator.
I couldnt get a socket to it and had to cut a slot in the GRP under it and slot an open ended spanner through it to tighten it up.
