Where is the neutral/earth on the f12 cars?

Hi guys,

Sorry very nooby question, however I've just installed a jb4 for my 640 and I'm occasionally getting drive train malfunction and occasionally stalling when coming to a stop.

I have it currently attached to the washer bottle bolt as it seems to work better than the strut braces...

So the main question where is the neutral terminal/earth/ground??


THANKS!

Use a circuit tester (not required)
however usually anywhere with bare metal is a good ground, just take off a bold sand under the bolt and around the area

reattach the bold with wire in that area and it'llw ork just file
