Theres more than one bulb in the dash so that can be thrown out. And Belive me or not if it was a ground you would see some freaky ass S@%# going on. Example, When I installed my 4 channel amp, I was getting the alternator whine. So decided to work to find out what was going on. While i was working on it i had the music playing. I had disconected the ground and was going to try a different area. Well commen-sense says audio should shut off when ground is pulled. Not in this case, The amp back-tracted through the RCA's into the head unit as ground. And being A electronics Technician Ill tell you Electricity will do some freaky ass S@%#. So a groun could be possible, But im sticking to that you missed a connector under the dash somewhere.
