I was looking at my engine bay and i saw a cable near the engine, not connected, i its a thick black cable with a rounded end to it kinda like an earth cable...
Does anyone know what is it and where it should be connected.
these r the pics of it....
Did you manage to trace it to a source?
Where is your battery located? It could be from your earth from the battery, someone might of changed something or upgraded the cable

i checked that cos i changed the old stereo, and it was installed with the stock wirings...
But i've been getting lot of static zaps when i get out of the car..so i wonder if that earthing might have to do with it...
hook up a multimeter to it and see if its an earth for anything! It wont be a postive i dont think, because if it comes in contact with the car body it should create sparks.
I get a lot of zaps as well when getting out the car etc. This is caused by your underwear! Apparently when you drive, rubbing your arse around the seat, creats stadic electricty. So when you get out the car, touch the car body, you get zapped becasue the whole car is an earth. Basically your getting rid of the static.
