Factory Remnants

Last night, I was working on part of my dash camera hard wiring. Found the fuses I wanted to tap into and all is well. When it came to the ground wire, many have been using a stud and nut just below the fuse box at the passenger side floor.

I did not like this spot. There is not a good metal on metal contact for the ground. I took off the side panel for the center console and found a nut here that was perfect for a ground. With the panel off, I found a silly surprise which is definitely not dealer installed. Yes, I left it on.

This rubber band is to hold the optional flux capacitor, you can still install one if you go back in time

I used a nylock nut on top of the existing nut, it's pretty secure to me.

Removing that will void the warranty.

I'm pretty sure you can use that to snap your hybrid out of the deep sleep mode.

That is where you put your bag of "Stash".

It’s not that it is not secure, I didn’t feel there was enough clean metal-on-metal. Below that nut is just plastic with a small metal ring. I also didn’t feel like cleaning off the paint on the stud to make a better connection.

I literally laughed out loud at the replies, and laughed really hard at the warranty comment.

Maybe this can now inspire an Easter egg hunt so we can all see if we have one lurking in our truck. Maybe we should track year and trim.

I think the guy that found the Hermosillo workers badge in his Mav has you beat
