unknown Wire

If anyone can shine some light, that would be great. Other day was under car looking around, noticed plastic around a wire was melted. Went to touch it and it just fell apart. This wire is located on the block on the passager side, between cylinder 8 & 6. Just a small black wire that screws into the side. Now the wire is just hanging there, is this of any importance

Re: unknown Wire

Pass side is the switch, the coolant sender is on the drivers side

The switch grounds and thus completes the fan relay circuit. I think the wire is black not green
