Default Where is the ground for the Guage Cluster '00 XJ

I've got the no bus on my odometer and I've checked all fuses, all sensors, all that jazz. It starts and runs and I've tried a known good working CPS so it's not that. I've also checked all grounds under the hood.

I've taken the dash apart to locate the ground for the gauge cluster but just can't find it. I even have this picture to go off of





According to that picture G108 is the ground for the cluster but I simply cannot find it. Can anyone post a picture of exactly where this is?

I'm not sure if I'm blind or if the picture I'm using is just for an earlier year.

Keep in mind this a 2000, and things are a little different from 00-01

Update:

Found a loose connection way under the dash. Took it off, cleaned it and tightened it. Now the dash works like it's supposed to with the exception of the symbol that is a key with a slash through it is still lit up. This vehicle doesn't have anti theft as far as I know but it starts and runs for 5 seconds and dies now.

That's an anti theft feature right? If so, this vehicle has no anti theft so wtf?

Also, before getting the cluster work properly it would run just fine. All that was done was that connection was tightened. Any ideas?

"The SKIM function is in all the ECM's. The only difference is it's either activated or not. Once activated, it can not be circumvented, deleted or turned off in the computer.

If you wish to have that done in the ECM, you have two choices. Either buy another ECM that doesn't have the SKIM function activated, or return the ECM to the Factory who will then return it to the vendor for reprogramming.

There are some work arounds for using the non Sentry keys that have been listed in this thread, but that's about it as far as deactivation of the function goes."
