The vehicle frame is ground. The battery negative connection is bonded to the frame. There is no need to run the ground wires back to the fuse panel. They are connected to the frame at a convenient location to reduce line length. This applies to the 12VDC side only. 120VAC is different. All three wires on an AC circuit will return to the panel.
Aha! That makes a lot of sense. That's why there seems to be wires appearing out of nowhere. They must be grounded in a place that I can't get to.
So if I do run new wires I'll have to ground to the chassis.. possibly through the seatbelt bolt?
And yes this will be through the 12vdc system.
Thanks.
