any bolt will do!
on a previous car, i lfted the rear seats and picked one!

disconnect the battery before connecting the earth as it sounds that you have reconnected it at this point?

I've replied to your other post, if you didn't disconnect the battery and have had wires lying around - you might also want to check your fuse!

i'd always reccommend disconection of the battery when doing anything electrical!
a small power surge could pop an electrical circuit easily!
