- Cleaning ground connections and I decided it was a good idea to film the locations of these grounds. Used 2 1997 GMC Safaris for this video, similar on Chevy Astro and later model years could have the grounds in different locations. Ground locations on Astro and Safari van.

Definitely the best ground video I've seen on an Astro van
I'm going to expect every video to be exactly like this from here on out...jeez theres no jabber no jibber no opinion no nothing !!! He just get straight to the point 🧐 what is it,where is it, and with a brief and concise explanation of the procedure... pinch me i MUST be dreaming...Many thanks 🙏
Very well done. You do not know how much I appreciate your dedication.
Not sure which ones I have in my 2000 AWD cargo Astro but thanks.
The fact that you went to the junkyard to finish the vid says a lot. ✌️
Indeed thankyou. Very informative.
I replaced the main ground cable to the engine, cleaned it all up and siliconed over that bad boy.
Dude, you deserve the nobel peace prize for this video!
Really well done video. Thanks for going the extra mile to produce this video!
Thank you for the video it has made my vans life better to understand.
EXCELLENT video, sir!
You helped me out, seriously.
Only "flicker" I had was when
the battery terminals would
occasionally get loose.
Will check underhood grounds.
Plus, will look into getting a new headlight switch.
(Will check&clean grounds FIRST, may not have to buy it) 😉
I know! We want more!
I love this guy. His videos are so well docked. He is very well spoken. I have a 95 astro van, my windows aren't working. I've changed motors and switches. Where is my ground. I am stumped.
Looks like the motor uses the doorframe as the ground. Have you checked for power at the window switch when the "Up" or "Down" buttons are pressed?
Thank you so much for the precision on the locations!
Thank you so much! I've saved this for future use@
Great information . Nice job !
My neighbor used your guide, and it helped him a lot. Good on you buddy
Thank you! I am about to look at my grounds on my 2001. This is a great guide.
Great video. Very helpful !
great! i apprecheate how you explain what the grounds purpose is!
thank you for taking the time to make this ! you saved me a lot of work ;)
Great video. I came across this video trying to find a video on taking apart the rear interior to service the rear blower motor. Didnt realize the cargo net clip is what holds it all together lol thanks for the help
very cool design, now accessing the fuel pump is a whole 'nother story, they should have made a trap door!
Great video!
Thank you. Much appreciated
Thank you This was really helpful I have a 2000 GMC safari
Thanks this video helped out a lot !
Very helpful brother thank you
Great video, you will help a lot of people with this, including me!
That was a firme tutorial thank you 👏🏽
GREAT VID!
Great, Thanks 👍
Your awesome man thanks
Well done video
Very detailed must have been done at a junkyard 😊
You're awesome!
You never mentioned G106 or any ABS ground locations. ?? Thanks
Thanks it's helpful
Thanks!
1999 Chevy Astro ground that causes battery light on dash to light is on the passenger side front next to the water bottles. When ground is open, the battery dash light comes on and looks like a belt , alternator , battery problem. Clean and secure that ground.
good info!
Nice
i have a 1st gen Safari. Assuming the ground points are all relatively the same. Been having some electrical issues, may be a good time to check and clean all ground points to rule that out.
thanks.
Thank you so much for this video you are awesome. Do you know which ground would be controlling the blower motor as well as the license plate light bulb. I tried changing the light bulb for my license plate and it doesn't work and the blower motor doesn't really work that good it could be a resistor but my auntie was saying something about the ground
For the 1997, Blower Motor is grounded at G100
The license Plate bulb is grounded at G401
The RH stop lamp and RH turn signal lamp are also grounded at G401.

Great video! Anyone know where the ground is for the abs module?
Question; is there a fuse for the automatic locks? When I press the fob to lock the doors the front door lock wont loc or unlock. rear and side door does. At first it was just the passenger side now it's the drivers side.
Fuse 13 in the driver's footwell area feeds the driver and passenger door locks switches. There's a circuit breaker in the same area that feeds the door lock relay and the door lock control module. G200 is the ground for these components.
For the 1997, it looks like the door lock control module directly controls the liftgate lock, and the door lock relay controls the side door lock. Take a look at your fuse #13. If the fuse is good, then maybe the individual door lock motors need replacement. You would need to confirm that the lock motor is getting power and ground before calling it defective and replacing it. What year is you van? I know that wiring can change with the "newer" models.
Great video! My 2000 Astrovan won’t start after a rainfall. It’ll crank but not turn over until a few dry days later. I’m wondering if it’s a ground cable. The windshield also leaks now. Do you have any suggestions for which ground cables may be causing the issue?
1. Battery Health. Voltage above 12.6V and clean negative/positive terminal
(Also check battery health during rainfall)
Use a battery tester to rule out a bad battery.
2. Check G103 . Visual inspection might not be good enough, could look good but have corrosion in between block and terminal. Might need to unbolt and clean.
3. Same deal with the connections at the starter solenoid.
4. G104
5. G102 & G103
Check weep hole in distributor housing. Could be plugged up. Hair dryer can prove or disprove that. Could also be security system not reading your key or its just marginal right on the edge. Been there, it is infuriating!
Bro awesome video ! Can u help me with which ground is for power windows ?
Windows keep losing power then all of a sudden they work but now they totally stopped both sides
@@STEELERSL79 G110 grounds the power window switch, alongside the 2 window motors.
What size is the g300 ground nut, ok lost mine.
It's not m10 0r m8
Thanks
Any idea where the power window ground would be? I hit a pot hole and lost power to windows, radio and got a Anti Lock light
Looked up a Wiring diagram for the radio, the radio gets its ground at G200, not seeing info on power window grounds, they're not labeled, maybe they are grounded to the frame, I do see Power Door Locks also get ground from G200.
G200 starts at 3:46
@@OldSchoolNoe much love man thank you
@@OldSchoolNoe that would make a lot of sense considering I hit the pot hole at the passenger driver tire
Why my parking brake light stay on . I change the brakes and fluid is good
Thanks
The parking brake light comes on when the parking brake is applied, or by the combination valve switch.
The actual parking brake switch is on the parking brake lever assembly. You need to start diagnosing. Maybe one of those 2 switches has shorted, maybe the parking brake assembly is bad and not "contacting" the parking brake switch.
Do you know which ground is for signal lights? Can’t find anything online.
My signals brake lights and hazards aren’t working.
G 400 ??
@@SASkate In this thread it looks like G400 and G401.
Also check the fuses in the driver's footwell,. There should be an "Illumination" and "Parking Lamp" fuse.

How you clean them
What ground is for the ECU or the Fuel injector harness?
For the '97, the Injector harness receives power from the "ECM 1" fuse located under the hood. The VCM provides ground for the injector harness. Pins 3, 15, 16, 32, 31(C2), and 5(C1).
Funny thing is I do not see the "ECU" grounded on any of the diagrams.
@@OldSchoolNoe found VCM is grounded at G105 and G107.
Does anyone know about a ground on the doghouse? I only found about it on a Facebook group and never noticed.
It is mainly for the cigarette lighter on the center console
where does the gas sender get its ground from?
should be G108
What are u selling? I will buy, or support u however. Priceless info here,
Service manuals, support right to repair and stuff will become repairable again
What is the ICM?
Ignition Control Module
G106 Knock sensor
Abs ground location?
ABS System on a '97: The EBCM (Electronic Brake Control Module) connects to the " Brake Pressure Warning Switch" which connects to G106.
@@OldSchoolNoethanks for the info!
EXCELLENT VIDEO! Thank You SO MUCH for Teaching 🙏🛠⚕️🎵🎶 ~C< 3)>>-Z->}
What would/could cause the ground from the battery to overheat and burn? It burned all the insulation and negative post?
Short to ground without circuit protection (a fuse or fusible link).
What # is the e-commerce ground
come again?
Excellent video!!!
