Can't find ground in engine compartment
Hey guys, I did a search but couldn't find what I was looking for. I'm trying to find where the ground for my rear window defroster relay hooks to on the body. In my bentley manual, the schematic shows it as ground G4 in this chart:
 I searched in the general area for G4, but it's really cluttered with the CDI unit, panel, accumulator, and other hoses and wires. Before I just run a new ground, or start taking everything out looking for G4, I thought I'd see if anyone here knows where it is located precisely. Thanks!  Jon

It's kind of hard to see. It's forward of the fuse relay panel and aft of the fuel accumulator. Look for some brown wires and follow them to the ground stud.

Okay, checked the ground, and it was totally loose. I cleaned the connectors and tightened it back up and now the relay gets it's ground. That problems fixed.
Now I have a new question, attached to the ground point G4 was a medium sized ground strap. The other end was just laying there, not attached to anything, here's a pic:  Where does it hook to? Here's another pic of it out of the car:

So G4 is the one behind the fuel filter/FA and G1 is the one at the fuse box in the engine compartment? 82 SC. Thanks.

Anyone, anyone? Trying to distinguish between points G1 and G4. Unfortunately the one blocked by the fuel filter and fuel accumulator looks to have a fair number of things connected to it. If only I had thought to clean that up when I recently replaced both
 Here’s a pic of what I can see behind the fuel filter:
