Default What does this ground go to?

Does anybody know what this ground goes to? I popped my hood today to do a quick inspection to make sure everything sounded right, and I saw this. I know when it got disconnected, the night before Thanksgiving when I was working on the car in the dark. So it has been off for close to two months, and I have not noticed that the car drives any differently. I went ahead and re-connected it, just curious as to what it provides a ground to.

If that nut is loose at all it will make the car shut off when its running, kind of like a ignition switch failure.

It's one of the grounds for the body harness that goes into the passenger compartment. No telling what it's for because there are a ton of grounds that come through there.

Best guess is washer tank motor, headlight motors and fog lights.

Oops... "...working on the car in the dark..." Guess he got the lights to come on. Nevermind.

I took the car on a drive last night, the only difference after hooking it up is my brake light is on very dimly.
