Ground Issue

okay so my truck will not start and I'm pretty sure it's a ground problem..I've found and checked both battery grounds but I can't find the one that's supposed to be from the block to a bolt on the fire wall? Any suggestions on how to find it ? Thanks

There is a ground strap to the rear of the passenger side head that connects to the firewall. Easiest access is from the bottom by the exhaust down pipe.

Just curious, but what is causing you to believe it's a ground issue?

PCM and FICM ground is drivers side just under the lip of the fender and the fire wall above the hydroboost.

That's technically a bonding cable, not a ground. The only Ford labeled ground cable is the one between the drivers negative terminal to the fender, right next to the battery.
