Hi,
I was looking at my buddy's hulk, and next to the solenoid board is a ground wire that's cut off. The solenoid board has no wire directly connecting it to ground.
I looked briefly through the manual and at the board itself but couldn't figure it out.
Where would I hook this ground on that board?

Thanks
Phil

What color wire is it?
I can upload some pics this afternoon of the Solenoid board connectors.

Wire is green.
Do these Gottliebs even have a direct ground or are they daisy chained through the connectors?
Maybe this is some mod that broke loose?

Either way I'd like to hook it back up.

This is the pic right there (first one). Where you have the one green-yellow wire hooked to the back of the back box, he has a second cut off wire. I think it was probably some ground mod.
I would think the first wire on the A2-J3 connector (green-yellow as well) is probably a ground, so I'll follow that trace and see if I can solder the cut off ground back in there.

Thanks for the pics.

Right on!
I guess I should have checked there first...
