Default Unknown cable. with pics... Do you know what it's for?

Hi!
I bought a Honda Civic 1.5 LS VTEC, and when I looked into the hood I found a cable loose.. Just wondering if anybody here know what it's for (I sure know that it is a negative cable, but what is it for?)
[The cable-connection I mean is in the red circle on the pics]




Also my turnsignal-lights don't blink when i open or close the doors with my IR-remote... Anyone that might have a clue why?

Thnx in advance!

(Sorry for my poor english, I'm from sweden so that's why... h: )

Yeah, I know that it's a ground.. :shifty:.
But for what? It's just cut-off. Where did it go from the beginning?

I don't think that's a stock wire. Some one most likely added that for something. Disconnect it and don't worry about it.

Not sure on the turn signals though.

if you want to make sure its not a factory ground then really all you have to do is find about 2 more grounds and compare three bolts keeping the wires in...

so if you have 3 grounds and 2 have a bolt that look like "X" and the last bolt looks like "O" then you figured out that the "O" is not a factory ground...

(why would a manufacture use all different bolts for gorunds)
