Starter problems?
I have finally put the engine down into my95 bonneville and mounted everything down and it should start but when key is turned over..nothing happens not even a clicking noise. I think I have a grounding issue but not positive, hooked the positive and negative from battery to unit and I cannot remember if there was another ground on the front side of the car but I think I forgot to hook a ground upto the block in the PS section of wires. So if anyone knows
Another ground in the front besides battery
any other grounsin general?
Thank you all so much.

Your main battery negative cable goes down to the front side of the block, right next to the starter.
Another ground is located on the back side of the engine just behind the oil pressure sensor. Its a smaller one, but its needed.
If all seems good to go, take a screwdriver and jump the big and small terminals of the starter. If it arcs and turns the engine over, then your issue is elsewhere.
Turn the key to on, then repeat the above procedure. If the car starts and runs, then we need to look elsewhere.

You should have one more cable that connects to the starter. You might find it draped over the trans bell housing underneath the aircleaner box.
It'* one of those wires that can easily get pushed off to the side when pulling these engines. Been thar, done that!

If this is the one you are refering to, then yes it is the right spot.
