Some wiring questions...

EDIT: Ok, so I feel really stupid right about now!

I was looking at the box with some spare parts in it, and I was like... wait, wtf is this?

It turns out that I completely forgot about the charging harness that also goes in the area. I will have to take it all apart and re-wrap it as well, since it's pretty nasty right now.

PS: I still dont know where that ground in the second pic goes btw, so if anyone has a sugesstion, I will be glad to hear it!

Hmmm...That ground kind of looks like the one that goes on top of the block, but it's nowhere near that area. I'll go take a look on my car real quick (hopefully it's the same between S4 and S5.)
EDIT: well, I went and looked and didn't see any of those type of grounds in that area. I'll take a better look tomorrow (It [u]is[/i] 3 in the morning).

I think it's this ground here:
