But just fyi, the instructions state that the chassis is an acceptable ground (see attached). Again, just sharing of info because, well, I'm the one having issues, so I'm certainly not trying to reject any advice - far from it!
Adam,

Body is a fine ground if it’s done correctly. No powder coating can remain where one grounds and I have seen some that did not do this. They thought the hole drilled through the metal was sufficient. Electrical issues suck big time as they can be hard to find. I had an issue and everyone told me it had to be a ground, well it turned out to be a badly crimped connector for me. Drive me nuts for a coupe days and I only found it after exhaustive trouble-shooting.
