Earth wiring:

All earths wired to a body bolt or via bullet connectors are circled in red, plus the engine earth not shown. There is also a sealed junction circled in blue, this rarely gives problems. The remainder are picked up from the physical mounting of the component:

Notes:

  1. Rubber bumper cars have the parking lights inside the headlamp unit and share that wired earth.
  2. The indicators are in the rubber bumper and have a wired earth going to the headlamp bullet connectors.
  3. The tank sender does not have a wired earth, it relies on its physical mounting to the tank and the tank to the body, so exuberant painting may prevent that working.
