Ground Bolt Location for Battery Relocation - Finding Factory Chassis Ground Point

ElectricalbeginnerOP Confirmed
Problem

When relocating the battery to the rear of the vehicle, the owner could not locate the original factory ground bolt on the chassis to attach the negative battery cable. The original battery base tray had been removed, eliminating the visual reference for where the ground point was.

Unable to locate original chassis ground bolt after removing battery trayNeeded proper ground attachment point for battery relocation project
Root Cause

The factory chassis ground bolt is located near the first engine block area, not on the battery tray itself. With the battery tray removed, the ground point was not immediately obvious.
