    Default unsure what to do...

    Hi...I recently took apart all my interior and took off all the panels on teh inside to get to the subframe that touches the roof(frame). Now when i took off my A pillar (drivers sidde) i found a little black wire (black insulation that is) and it was onl abou 2--3mm diamater and it had a bit of copper exposed at the end.. Now im unsure where its from or what it does....Is it safer to just electrical tape it and just leave or would it be safer to gorund it??since its black i assumed its a grouding wire...but theres no solder on it or anything so unsure how they kept it in place.....what should i do?

    i posted this in the automotive section as well so mods feel free to delete one...

    Do you have a remote controlled locking system on your car? It may be the antenna wire.
