where does this random wire go?

[mars2878]

As the title says: Where does this random wire go? I found the wire w/ the big eyelet when I replacing the hood light. It comes out of a larger harness along the backside of the engine. Vehicle is a 1999 Suburban K1500 LT 5.7L. It's about 3in short of reaching the hood light stud, can reach if pulled from the loom. I don't notice any open mounting locations.

That looks like a ground wire too me. Maybe you already figured that. I don't know where it's supposed to go... could be to the body, or to the engine, I suppose. Do you happen to have any weird electrical problems?

I'll be interested to hear the answer.

I think he's talking about the wire with the plastic plug on it

That looks like its plugged in where it should be. I think hes referring to the eyelet that has a wire but isnt hooked to anything.

Touch it to bare metal and see if it sparks when everything is running. If so, its a hot wire. If not, its probably a ground.

Or bust out the multi-meter if you're not feeling reckless...

There is a ground that connects on the back of the passenger head, kind of near where the transmission dipstick turns down at the firewall . It’s circled in green. The wire comes from the main harness that runs over the top of the intake, it has the blue arrow to it.

the plastic plug is for the hood light & that is where it mounts on that stud.
