Ground wire came lose - from where?

[breeves2245]

New Passport SL 229RK. Installing my new trojan 6 volt batteries. While hooking up the negative the other end of the wire came out from the camper side. Can't see where is came from.

Looks like a ground (black) wire is coming out of the giggy box and fastened to the frame. But I can't figure where the lose end of the ground wire from the battery goes. It has about a 1/2" of stripped wire, like it slipped out of connector.

Any ideas where I need to put it back in?

I called my dealer. They looked at another unit and said the negative went back into the giggy box. Couldn't say more than that.

Viewed a Keystone video on the giggy box. I think I see where the negative connects to a M8 type connector.

I guess I'll have to take off the giggy box to fix. Loading up now to leave tomorrow, so if anyone has any advice, please weigh in. I wonder if I just ground the wire and not worry with the giggy box battery cutoff feature for now is an option?

Black wire needs a new crimp connector. Picture above shows where it goes.

Yep, me three. Never seen such a critter but it looks like a great device.

I was about to fire off a warning about NOT assuming a black wire is a ground when it comes to connecting batteries.

All too often they use the black wire on a battery installation, I suspect acting like it is the hot wire in a 110 volt setup.
