Floyd is correct.
The wire is molded inside the vinyl and offers no ground path unless you cut the wire out enough on BOTH ends that you can attach it to METAL.
You cannot "ground" to nonconductive material, and the path must be continuous. I used a flexible metal dryer duct. Problem solved with grounding. Floyds DC insert is metal, duct metal and connected to metal housing on the GROUNDED metal DC blower housing.
