spare wire after putting my gearbox back in?

[laam999]

Ok, I've changed my clutch, all engine oil and transaxle oil and oil filter, gearbox is reattached and when I was putting the battery back in I noticed there is a wire that is going no where, it can reach no where and I have no bloofy idea what it's for, however when I use the indicators they're super fast, making me think I'm missing something (front is not attached at the moment so side indicators and bumper ones are not attached so this may be why) but I want to know where the hell this wire goes, here is the best pic I have (my phone broke so I'm not taking my SLR down all the time, it's pretty heavy)

There are a couple of spare connectors in the engine bay, on UK spec cars
AC, Cruise control, Auto gear box etc etc.

Your indicators are going uber fast because you have not got them all connected, so the car thinks it has a bulb gone and is repeating twice as fast this is normal if for instance you have a bulb go, most cars do this.

Can't tell for sure but that looks like the earth that should be attached to one of the bolts on the thermostat housing.

It goes under the bolt on the thermostat. Its the earth wire.

^^^^^^ this
give the terminal and the bolt also the themostat housing a good clean up before fitting or the starter will only crank slowly and your engine won't fire up
