kind of hard to tell what i'm looking at in those pics. if you're talking about this red wire, I asked the same question and i got the response: everyones car has it and no one knows what it's for.

I think it is the fuel pump prime/test wire. If it is, it will be hot (+) when you put your key to run position. If that works you can double check by jumping a hot wire to it with the key off and listen for your fuel pump to come on.

that looks to be where the battery sits? if so mine has a junction box right there with a + lead comming from the battery, and that wire i assume goes to it? still tracing mine down to see where it goes.
