In fixing up recently purchased 1987 Bayrunner I noticed the blk 16 gauge groundwire coming out of the harness behind the instrument panel was hanging loose and melted. So it is not connected to anything however everything seems to work fine. The diagram I have shows it should be connected to the fuse block behind the dash. In looking at the ground wire connection on the motor I see that the ground wire there is also somewhat melted (black electrician tape hid this somewhat) however it is still connected to the motor. I see also that there is a black wire running directly from the negative at the battery directly to the fuse block behind the dashboard. So I guess everything is grounded and okay, right?
Just to be safe should i remove the old ground wire from the harness that is still connected to the motor?
