    Under the nut at the end of the curved spring. You might need to fix the insulation on the black lead.

    Under the Nut may be a bit misleading.
    Good explanation here.

    Instead of trying to fix the insulation ( it will fail when it is least convenient, ask me how I know ), get yourself one of these, although you need to check fitment as they are not all the same.
