EXACT LOCATION OF BARRACUDA HEADLIGHT GROUND WIRE

[soonercruiser]

Ok.
So I'm done resfreshing most all the grounds up front on the Barracuda.
And this afternoon I found the loose connector on my PT Cruiser resposible for my turn signal and side amrkers not working on the passenger side.
Feeling frisky!
So, NOW on to the real detective work looking for the headlight ground up front.

The wiring diagram says that it is coming off of the Passenger side headlight.
And, yes I'm sure I will have to start disassembling the surrounding trim, etc.; and then check for power.

**But....does anyone have 67-69 Barracuda apart right now that could take me a picture of exactly where that ground is???
Even a past picture of it from the past.

Thanks Al!
I've already done that one.
I was afraid it was buried deeper behind the headlight cup.

That is the only ground on the forward lamp harness (at least in 67).

Seems like there is one like it on the driver's side too, but my cars are 2 and 4 years newer.

Yup!
There was one similar on the driver's side too.

I had one 67 Valiant with the right one and a different 67 Valiant with both.

BINGO!
Turns out the headlight problem was the floor dimmer switch.
It had been clicking; but eventually stopped even clicking.
Replaced the dimmer switch and the headlight now work fine!

Great! You kinda said that you were looking for something, didn't realize that your headlights were not working. Yes, dimmer switch was one of my issues on the '69.
