Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up to a splice.
