Well Its been almost a year since my '94 GS was running last so I finally got the motivation to finish her up. I ordered the new wiring harness and got that installed, the old harness was in pretty bad shape. I have one wire that Im not sure about though, its a single black/white wire with a male black plug that comes out of the harness right next to the little diode with the green, blue and black/blue wires. I dont see anywhere to blug it in at and I cant pinpoint it on the wiring diagram, on the old harness it looks like the last owner cut the plug off and hooked it to the frame for a ground or something.

Pictures?
I have a wiring harness of all 4 (maybe 5) variations. Show me and I can tell you what it is.

One clue: black.white is ground. There is a ground connection in the harness around the battery box.
The ground from the battery goes down to the motor frame and a small wire with a plug (about 6" long) is what connects the ground into the wiring harness.

This it?

Looks like it but Ive looked everywhere and cant find any other wires to plug it into. since the last harness was just mounted to the frane would it work if I did the same??

i have mine wired into the battery negative. and the large cable to chassis/frame ground. i received mine as a basket case missing the ground cable. it will work fine.

That goes to the battery as in my photo. Look at your negative battery cable. It should have 2 wires. One big fat one going to the motor and a smaller one 6" long that plugs into that connector.
You can band-aid it and make your own connection to the battery. Alternative is pick up a new negative cable. Just a couple dollars from one of our parts whores.

There are clamp on in-line wire splices. Use one of those on any black/white wire and run it to the battery. Don't cut off the connector. Try to leave things an original as possible. My preference would be do it the right way. Until you get the right cable, do the in-line splice.
