Default 98 Disco SE7 Tail light cluster ground

Can anyone please tell me where the ground is located for the right rear lamp cluster? If I am reading the Rave manual correctly it should be in the well behind the cluster, but there isn't one there that I can see.

I am having issues with the stop/tail light on that side.

The tail light shines at 50% brightness and when you put your foot on the brake the tail light and brake light don't work (on the right passenger side only).

Any Ideas?

Help!

Thanks

The connector shown is your ground connector. Check the contacts to make sure they are clean. Fill the connector with dielectric grease to help keep it clean.

Thank you so much for your help!

Is E401 the ground connector as it states in the manual?
I was looking for an actual ground to steel there - so it is all the wires in the whole connector which are ground?

C487 is the ground connector and all the wires in the particular connector are ground wires. E401 is the actual earth ground the wires from that connector go to.
