I'm fairly familiar with the grounds under the hood (Renix), but haven't found many behind the dash. I'm sure they are there, just never had much experience with them.
I jumped the ground to the power window circuit under the drivers side kick panel. And while I was in there jumped another ground wire mounted to the lower left bottom of the dash. Tied them all together and made a new ground to the dash brace bolt.
Headlights got brighter, power windows nearly doubled there speed and if I'm not imagining things my idle smoothed out some.
I've looked through some diagrams trying to figure out what I did and can't find a location for grounds G102, G103 and G 104.
The best solution would be to leave it the heck alone and be happy, but I'm a curious sort.
All the wiring in an XJ harness and the ground circuits, most all flow through splices to maybe a dozen grounds, through anemic wiring. It's almost like the engineers forgot that DC electric is a loop.
