All,
There is a screw cup that attaches from the backside and it has a ground wire with a fast on connector. Here is the Ford Master Parts picture.
It is not very easy to get to. I would recommend to remove the speed-o-meter assembly to access the area.

The fuse block is right behind it and makes for some pretty tight space there. I suggest small hands and patience

I completely replaced my entire vehicle harness with a Painless Wiring setup. The new fusebox is smaller and leaves a bit more room for access.

- No Mustangs at the moment.
I recommend the use of trained ferrets for this kind of work.

Trained ferrets? For what, to chew your fingers small enough to get in there?I recommend the use of trained ferrets for this kind of work.
