    OK...everything was going along great. I installed the black ground and when I went to install the relay on the next bolt..IT SNAPPED OFF. Can I just connect it to the harness and zip it to something? I dont think the plastic casing has any grounding since it is plastic?

    Help me out please! :(

    If it were mine, I would try to find another bolt close by and put it under there. I agree with you that it is probably not grounding anything and zip tying it to a wire bundle will probably work. I think the reason for the bolt is just to secure it from flopping around.

    Thanks. The tab of the relay broke so I did just zip tied it and hooked it up. I wrapped it up in some electrical tap as well to prevent any water damage. They look and work great!

    Thanks. My original thought was that the bolt snapped off, not the relay bolt tab. (I was going to say something about not overtorquing the bots :)). In that case, you had no choice but to zip tie and tape.

    They do look and work great don't they. Glad you had success.
