Mk1 Focus earth point locations?

Could anyone tell me the location of the various electrical earth points on a MkI Focus?

The gauges in my car read very erratically, which I’m told could be down to bad earth connections.

I’ve found three in the engine bay and I think there are two more on the cabin side of the sills.

Are there any more I’ve missed – particularly any that might be affected by water spray underneath the car?

(My attempt to hose off the salt underneath really upset the gauges!)

Thanks all

    The earth point for the cluster is on the lower RHS A pillar, not sure if it would be affected by water but good luck.

    Thanks Dan - I removed the trim covering the fuel cut-out switch on the bottom of the A-pillar and didn't notice an earth point, but will have another look.

    However, I did spot one on the inner sill just down from the cut-out switch, which I'll need to pull back more carpet to access. Could this be the earth for the cluster?

    It appears to be above the cut-out switch, there should be 2 below G24 & G53.
    The cluster earth is G41
