My fellow potterers

I am about to take on the task of tracking down all the problems in my
electrical system. Rather than list the problems, let me list what
works:

1. The interior dome light

Short list eh? She has been like that since the day I bought her
(used). Will someone please describe the "ground" system on a P19? Is
everything supposed to be grounded back to one spot, and what is this
"spot", or are the individual (running) lights grounded somewhere near
the light? I've seen some electrical diagrams that show only one
battery terminal hooked into the electrical system, and the circuit's
other end terminates at "ground", is this really how it is done, or is
this just some kind of representation of closing the circuit back at the
battery?

All I am trying to run off the battery now is the lights.

Thanks for any and all responses.
