the icm is grounded through its mounting bracket if i remember correctly. should bolt up to the d/s head and there is a ground strap for that stud. make sure there is dielectric compound between the icm and bracket too.

On the "A" (Grey) connector of the ECM pin 12 is the IGN coil out wire.
[A12] Ignition Coil W (HOT, connect other black wire on coil to ground) 10A
Check you can voltage at that point, will help determine where in-stream you problem may be. I'd bet you can power at that pin.
Note: It's very rare for something like a fuseable link to fail. Far more common for the Ign module or coil to go and either can go without warning and often neither failing will throw a code.
