On pre puma, they bolt onto the bodywork and via the main wiring loom (I can't remember if my Td5 does as well... I think not)

On the pre 2013 Puma you can maybe use the black wire of the permanent live wires (purple and black) behind the RH side rear sidepanel. That one here:

Is it both sides that have failed or just one.
The earth wiring diagramme seems to show two for the rear of the vehicle, one each side. The exact location of the earth points are not shown. Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to  us off.

Well I have been out and flung myself under the back end of mine with a torch, I cannot see any earth points that are easily visible. Don't make old people mad.

Rear lights are earthed in the vicinity of the transfer box. I think that a year or two ago I posted the manual page showing the location.
