Need 944S 16V Engine harness ground point pictures

I had to pull my engine harness and forgot to take pictures of the ground points. Does anyone have some pics or can take some pics to share?

There are three ground wires, 2 from the harness and 1 from the battery. Does the two from the harness go together on the engine crank case (high/tall) point and the battery ground to the point on the bell housing?



In the 944S DME Test Plan book there are some photos, but they don't match the S engine. But perhaps the text is right? Harness ground (2x) on crank case and battery ground on bell house.

It looks like the big wire and one small wire on the upper rear lug, and a single small wire on the lower lug...

Djnolan, is this on a 16v car? The manual says both engine harness wires are together and the battery separate. But the picture they show are for the wrong model...

This picture is from an 87S model. I wouldn't think it is going to make any difference as long as all wires are grounded to something.

thanks djnolan,

that's very strange, that the manual says one thing but cars display other version.

I put the grounds back as per the manual, the two engine harness grounds together on the tall engine crank case point and the battery ground on the bell house. The car started up. So whatever was preventing the sensors to give a spark signal has been solved.
