Refreshing Grounds Procedure?
https://i.imgur.com/Vg46UeL.jpg
I have a self test plug elsewhere (and there is a ground near it, and I did refresh it) but it looks different from this one, and the thing that says "RABS PLUG" next to it in that photo isn't in my vehicle. But like I said there is a ground by my self-test plug and I polished it up.
Also, this is either not on my truck or I dont know where the photos
was taken:

But I did refresh several grounds because of those photos, and once again I do appreciate you posting that thread link.
This is extremely helpful, and I've been wishing I had something like this! Is there any document/photography to correlate these grounds (and connectors, and wiring harnesses ideally) with what's in the truck? Because with this, I can probably come up with good ideas as to what could be causing the problems, once I digest them. But to apply that to the vehicle will require some rosetta stone.
Yes I concede the point. You were right. Also I think the photo that I mistook as being for a different model just shows a self-test unit with a cap on, *maybe* a different self-test interface, and maybe a slightly different RABS plug. But not a wholly different truck.
Do you mean the photos? What was different in those photos from my truck? The existence of the stuff in some of the photos. Such as this stuff:

All these ground and their locations are listed in the Ford EVTM manual that has been referred to multiple times in your various threads.
Yes you do have one based on the photo from your other thread. It's the black connector on the upper right of your photo, next to ground G104:

Behind the passenger side kick panel. Notice the passenger side door to the right in the photo. Ground G200 is behind the removable panel.

I don't know what you mean by the G200 stuff behind the kick panel, that hasn't come up before (though I saw the photo), but I did (in the other thread) mention that on second look, I think the RABS photo is of an area where I have a ground, and that I cleaned that ground, and I think I thanked you (again) for sending the link to the photos. It was very helpful.
Regarding "the Ford EVTM manual that has been referred to multiple times in your various threads" I'm not sure what your point is. I don't own such a manual, and even if I did, those manuals don't (I think?) tell you where, physically, the electrical connections are. So I'd still be asking for the locations - which you provided, and which I appreciate. I just don't get your point about referencing a manual I dont' have which doesn't contain the info I asked for.
