where does this wire go?

Its a 2000 c280

Can someone look under their hood and find the same wire and tell me where it goes? I would really appreciate it.

My car is having weird electrical problems such as using blinkers shuts the radio off and windshield wiper not working sometimes. It also makes a clicking sound inside of the cluster occasionaly.

This is on the drivers side and its grounded to the frame but the other end of it ripped off as you can see.

Figured it out.

Its a engine to chassis ground and the other end connects to the power steering pump.

Connecting it did solve my electrical issues btw

Did or didn't solve your issue. I have seen many of those earth wires broken with no electrical issues

It did. My radio doesnt cut out when I flash high beams any more and my blinkers never went out either so far.

The radio used to cut out every single time id flash the high beams
