    G201 Location 87 Town Car

    I'm trying to find the location of the G201 connector. I suspect something's wrong with it since it grounds clock, glovebox light, and interval governor the lot of which aren't working on my car (1987 Town Car). All fuses look good.

    The book says Ground G201 is "Attached to brace under center of I/P" but I'm garbage at finding things directly in front of me so any elaboration like to what has to be removed to get to that brace is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Can you follow the ground wires from all the items you mentioned to a central point? Perhaps easier said than done but that should be the overall grounding point for those items.

      IIRC, it should be in the vicinity of that yellow Lincoln sticker. Somewhere between that at the clock in the instrument cluster. The other end of the line should go to the multi ground quick connect board above the go pedal near the steering wheel mount.

      I could be remembering the Mercury and not the Mark VI, so there's that. But that's what it looks like since I think the message center module is in that brace between that yellow sticker and the clock area of the dash.

          Find the upright to the right of the gas pedal and follow it up above where all the rest of the metal ties in. Pretty sure you'll find it right up there, near the low fuel level warning box. I seem to recall several grounds right there anyway.

            I think it's right there in two of your pictures, just below the "6-5" sticker, almost touching the carpet. There's two grounds there anyway. Wouldn't hurt to give them a look.

              Just following up the grounds were fine.
              Glovebox light is just finnicky, sometimes it works most times it doesn't.
              My clock was dead. I bought some spare clusters and swapped in a working clock, that's solved now.
              Wiper governor seems defective.
