Does anyone know off the top of their head a good chassis ground point under the shifter bezel or under the right side of the dash? Preferably with a screw/bolt already there.
Thanks.

Chassis ground under shifter bezel or close by?

Drop the glove compartment down (unhook the stops) and you find your heart’s desire.

I think right inside the little pop out panel next to glove box, there is several grounding points.
I used a continuity tester to find a good ground..

you have to pull the whole center console out. a bit time consuming....

I think we are talking about accessing a ground connection on an F-150 Raptor under or to the right of the center console…
yeah, i just had 2 f150's apart. with all the plastic there i dont think you would find a good ground point. i didnt necessarily look for one, but i think its better going elsewhere. also depending on the electronis being connected, you shoud meter the ground. if you have more than 10ohms resistance, it can cause some sensitive electronics not to work

Yeah, I have the shifter bezel out and there's nothing but plastic staring me in the face. I see some wires going up under the dash so I'm going to try and route my wire down and over under the glove box and ground it there. This should't be a "sensitive" install. It's the mode switch for the OnX Led bar. You push it once and it grounds a signal to the bar to change modes Hi Intensity->Half Intensity->Strobe and back with each press.
you will be fine with any bare metal contact for your ground. if you go to the drivers side it might be easier

The impedance of the ground connection by the glove box is near zero.
Also do you have a picture of the mode switch?

Steve, I got to ask. Why not use one of they Aux switches and ground it under the hood?
