There is what looks like a ground connection on bracket above filter ( next to VST). The connector attached did have wire but does not now. Do you have any idea as to where the other end attached ? I may have added photo twice, sorry but if you zoom into the bolt on bracket above filter, left side, a little dark but there is a connector under that bolt. Thank you very much !
