Changing a battery and didn't pay attention to what wires I removed. Are there any connections to the positive terminal besides the big red (starter) and the connection for a battery charger? i.e. everything else i removed is ground? The one that i don't remember comes out of the same harness / cluster that also goes to the computer. Brown wires under black insulated tubing.

Thanks

Unless you have had some moron do wiring on it that didn't know his head from is behind........... Rolling Eyes

But, yes, as Inge has pointed out, all factory brown wires are intended to be ground.
