I gather that the ground is within the loom and can not be easily identified visually. Check both terminals on the loom connector for voltage, using the engine as a ground. With the ignition on one should deliver 11 - 13 volts. The other will be ground. No volts detected and you have found a fault.

If you are energizing the unit on the bench, it will not matter one way or the other as it is not polarity sensitive.
Looking at an earlier post, it would appear that the connector may not be polarized and may go together either way, in which case have no concerns.
