I believe the motor is grounded through its metal casing and doesn't have a dedicated ground connection. However it wouldn't be a bad idea running an extra ground wire from one of the case attaching screws to part of the body, perhaps doubling up on another close-by ground connection.

More confused now that I started looking into this further and may have wasted $70 on a new motor.
There is one connection to the motor - that connection has a red wire with faint green stripe and a red wire with a black stripe.
When the AC dial is on any other mode than off, the red wire with green stripe shows power (via light meter). The red wire with black stripe is what, a secondary power source for high speed? Or is that the ground?
As far as I can tell the screws that go into the motor shroud attach into plastic, so I'm not sure where the ground comes from. Furthermore, theres a neoprene style gasket between the motor and the van.
Also, I tried to verify that the new motor works by connecting it to the factor plug, but it does nothing.
Where is the ground on this setup?
