Default How to locate welding point?

I was working on the retrofit of the ambient light on my 2017 Q7 P-Plus and have been looking at the wiring diagram. The diagram in below describes the ground connection point 841, which is a welding point. But I looked through all repairing manuals and can't find anything mentions about the location of these ground connections. Any one can shed some lights please?

Looks like if you find any "brown" wire (no stripe) in the instrument panel wiring harness, you should have your ground (looking at the above schematic, I haven't checked under the dash though). Typically they keep power and ground colors the same throughout all the circuits.

Yeah man they list a bunch of connections starting on page 618 but sure enough don’t mention the one in question. I really dislike the factory service manuals they offer us. There’s gotta be something better.

I say it to you, because I'm the welder with the great experience. I chose my helmet basing on the article connected to the custom welding helmets, it was https://toolsforme.org/welders/custom-welding-helmets/. My choice fell on the Forney 55702 PREMIER Series Camo Auto Darkening Welding Helmet, and you know, It's the great product. Gets the job done. I was pleasantly surprised when this product came with an additional screen. So even with the first one burns out we still have another one. The helmet is constructed well. And sits very nicely on the head. So nothing disturbs you from the working)
