Ground Block in Medicine Cabinet

I was looking for a way to reroute Aqua Hot and thermostat wires and in the process removed panel above medicine cabinet. To my surprise I found a grounding block with the nuts almost off. Apparently never tighten at factory. This ground according to Entegra services the rear of the coach. I wish I had a wiring schematic.

If you are having grounding issues you should check this block.

It really DOES help all of us to help you with any answers or information to know your model and year. Without that, Yaoundé are likely getting bad information. I would suggest using a computer and not the app and sign in, the go to the "UserCP" button on the line near the top of the pageant down the left edge, you can modify or create your "signature". It will help us all.

With respect to the grounding block, thank you very much for the tip.

We have a small issue with lights flickering when the toilets are flushed, so I have been meaning to get inside this panel and check for ground security.

Thanks again for reminding me of this issue.

My lights just started flickering when the toilet is flushed too. Good Tip on the grounding block, thanks.

I am currently looking for that group ground block as I have a definite ground problem with holding tank sensors. I fixed it by adding an additional chassis ground to the circuit. However, I do know I have a grounding problem that may cause other problems on other circuits someday.
I was told the block was in the mid ship 1/2 bath behind the fuse panel but it's not. Yesterday I asked Mike at CS to do some more research for my location and am waiting. Mine is a 2016 Aspire RBQ.

Grounding Block Location

The grounding block is located in the 1/2 bath in the medicine cabinet above the shelves on the 2017 Aspire 44B. There are 6 screws holding a wooden panel about 26" x 12". Just remove the screws.

I was back there once when wiring LED lights for that cabinet. I had a large ground wire that I tapped into, but did not see a block. It doesn't hurt to look again.

Chuck- We had an issue with flicking lights and rear bath toilet on our 2015 classic Anthem 44B. CS pointed me to the wiring behind the panel in the half bath. Found several loose nuts and wires. Fixed our issues. CS also mentioned that the block can also be located in the thin slot in the medicine cabinet to the right of the fuse cabinet.
