theres a black connector thats by the battery.. its right next to the yellow connector. the wire thats going across that big silver thing in the pic, that the hood latches onto.. it has been cut and was dangling there.

"it worked anyway" i meant the pic. didnt know how to post them until now haha..

It's the wiring for the low brake pad sensor. Often these fail because of brake fluid deteriorating the wiring so it's easier and cheaper just to cut it off... but the two wires should be soldered together to continue the circuit. It's just a simple 2 wire continuous loop and when the brake pads wear low, the sensor attached in-line wears through, braking the loop, to tell the computer.
