There isn't a good ground anywhere near the fuse box location? I need to jump over to the center console?

i'm sure there is.. i just havn't used one so i can't recommend it.. any bare metal should be a good ground.. thats why i suggested a volt meter.. that way you can actually see what is giving you good ground.. or if you have to grind/sand it down

this is what works best for a good strong ground
(try to paint over it to prevent rust on the spot you grind if its a small connection you can even use nail polish)
