DIY Grounding Block Update?

[DigitalFusion]

Hey all,

I realize the dealer will do this for free if a bring the machine in. However, my phazer is currently stripped down as I am trying to isolate an issue with getting spark on only one cylinder. While doing so, I realized this machine may not have the grounding block update done.

The TSB (attached) says that if there is a translucent 6-pin connector installed, then the update has been done. This machine has the 6pin connector. However, it also shows that there will be a new ground cable to the battery. My machine doesn't have this secondary ground cable, only the single, from-the-factory connection.

Can I simply order the parts for this update and do it myself? Do I even need to bother, and just create a new ground on my own? The TSB isnt clear where is new ground is connected to so if someone can enlighten me, that would be great!

Nevermind, I found the part number and ordered it. For 8 bucks its just easier than bringing it to the dealer

I just got an 06 RS Venture--and yes--charging problems--what does the Ground Block Update look like and where located please?

Instead of the update I hardwired several grounds (including headlights and rad fan) directly to battery (-)

The update applied for 07-08 Phazers, VLs and MPs only.

Yep, I got the melted wires on my MP late in its life and rather than waiting for the parts, I just made my own too.
