I almost have my truck back together. Tore down to pretty much a roller. I replaced the ground and hot leads. The ground has besides the main ground, it has two smaller wires. One looks to be a body ground and the other wire goes to the wire loom. It looks to be designed for a fuse. What was there before was twisted together with nothing between. What needs to be in this wire?

It just looks like it is for a fuse. It is really just a round plug. Make sure that little wire is good though, it is one of the main grounds for the computer. Engine won't run without it.
