    Probably a noob question o_O....can someone tell me where there might be a ground near this fuse box? I have looked everywhere with a meter w/no luck. This is the box in front of the driver's left knee. I'm trying to hook up a Garmin Map60csx GPS and don't want to run it off my ciggy lighter. The GPS is over on the left side of the windshield so a direct line down to this panel would be the bee's knees.

    Thanks

    Hmmmmm...ok....I'll look again. I must've missed it.

    In my defense (weak as it is) it is getting damned dark out there already...my headlamp must not be bright enough (or the wearer isn't :oops:)
