Orange wire 15A fuse

OK, I just noticed under my dash that an orange wire with a 15A fuse has been disconnected on one end. I looked at the wiring diagram and can't find anything that matches.

Anyone have any ideas?

Everything seems to work, well minus the transmission which crapped out last week, but that's not

Thanks for the info, I still have lights on the radio, but some times the radio cuts out and if I tap it it comes back on, maybe it has something to do with this wire. I'll try to find the connection in the rats nest that is my fuse box.
It might also be a part of an aftermarket stereo that the previous owner had in it.

Hmm, hatch does work, but since you mentioned it I now remember that the rear defroster doesn't work anymore. The light comes on but the defroster doesn't defrost.
