Hello,

Basically I've cocked up a bit, and when trying to get some bungee cords out of my boot from behind the spare wheel, I was being lazy and tried to do it with out removing the spare.

However, in the process, I've caused a wire to become loose, and I have no idea where to plug it back in. I think it's an earth of some sort as it's bolted to the body of the car and has a plug on the other end.

Here are some pictures;

Where it's connected on the car. (In the boot near the battery)



And this is the plug on the end of it.



Does anyone have any ideas? It's a 1991 Eunos.

Anyone else with a similar aged car that could have a look?

Thanks.

Update,

Had a proper look today, it's not the ground for the antenna, but it's the earth for the solenoid on my boot release thingy-mabob. Which explains why I couldn't get it working and chucked the switch away.


Cheers for the help.
