Question:

where is my ground wire?

i have a 2002 pontiac sunfire where is my ground wire located? what does it look like?

Answer:

Ground wire for what?
There is ground wire that connects the battery's negatime post to the frame of the car and that is it. If you are looking for a ground wire to connect something to eg. an amp, just connect the ground from the electronic device to the frame of your car via a bolt that goes in to your cars chassis/frame.
Have a look at the battery. The wire ( usually black about 3/8th inch thick ) on the negative ( -ve ) terminal is connected to the inner wing / chassis or 'ground'. Various components - gearbox etc use a braided wire strap to ground as ordinary wire will break due to vibration. The red wire ( +ve ) goes to the alternator then into the various fuse distribution boxes
