It's one of several needed grounds. Replace it with new.

In my 2002 ws6 I looked in my engine bay and traced the braided cable going towards the alternator bracket area where I can't see where it goes after that. Hope it helps.

Get a Taylor Braided Ground Straps #148014, it's a lot beefier, and less expensive than a stock replacement!

FYI. Taylor also offers a 8", and 18". The 8" is to short for that location, and the 18" is really longer than you'll need.

Here's the block mount location behind the alternator:
