Disconnected cord??

Hi guys,

I have one disconnected wire under the hood on the right side. It looks like grounding. It connects to the body near the front parking light. Does anyone know what it is and where to put it? My car Firebird 2.8 V6 1988, manual transmission.
Thank you for all your help!

Probably going to need some information on what car you are working on.

Probably...

Butt first, trace it back and see what it goes to, and delete that as well; then trace every other wire coming from that thing, and delete those; and repair wherever it was all hacked into the car's OE wiring.

That end goes to the Fire-Wall (ground).

But what it connects to...
Nobody knows.
