HELP ! Car won't start
Went out to start the car and just as the title says, nothing. I had washed the car with the lights on, kids where playing in the car and put the headlights on. So I thought maybe a drained battery ?? So I took the over off and noticed this random connecter.. Any thoughts ?

Yeah looks like a snapped connector on the ground cable.
unbolt one of the bolts slightly and whisk this underneath and then clamp down again.

I agree with HBC350. That wire does not look OEM and was added by someone after delivery. I can't see the other end of the wire so not sure of the reason but for connection of a trickle charger makes sense. I don't see one like it on my 2012. Check it to make sure it is not a hot battery lead or it might short out but a ground lead does make more sense.
You need to charge or replace your battery from the sounds of it.

I had to have my battery changed today (1 yr old) after it died the last two days.
