Your car has two parts the frame which the suspension is attached and everything else which is the chasis, You battery ground is considered a frame ground. In order to get a chasis ground the wire needs to be connected to the body of the car, usually under the hood somewhere.

You can attach the ground wire to any part of the car that is grounded. Find an existing screw or drill a new hole in the car chassis - again - make sure the chassis you select is grounded to the battery. There is the red power lines and there are the black ground wires, and sometimes there are green ground. If you never connected the black negative wire, it never would have turned on in the first place. If you did not connect the green ground wire, the radio should still play. Sounds like the red wire is loose or broken.

"Chassis ground" refers to the fact that the vehicle chassis is connected to the negative battery terminal, and so any metal part of the vehicle that's connected to the chassis is considered a ground. Many factory radios are automatically grounded through the brackets that secure them to the metal in the dash. With an after-market radio, you may have to attach the ground wire to dash metal to provide a ground connection.

put a wire with a ring terminal on any bolt that's on solid metal.
it is making a neg contact, because the neg battery cable also is grounded to the frame in the engine compartment
and no it does not make any difference if its the frame or the body, there are grounding straps elsewhere to make that circut.

means you need to run your ground for you radio to the frame of the car pretty much anywhere besides your battery or the engine block. grounding your radio to either of those will actually give you a humming noise through your radio that will grow louder as you rev your motor .

Anything thats metal is consider chasis ground, Car is a 12volt system and negative cable is hooked up to chasis of the car. So that's why they call it chasis ground.

a wire running to metal. just run the specified wire to a metal source, such as a screw that holds your stereo in place.
Best of Luck!
