Need Help: Where does this wire go?
I was just sitting in a parking lot, had just started the car and then the Jeep died and would not start. I found a wire, which I think is a ground wire that looked like it should be attached somewhere. When we touched it to the rusty screw in the picture on the back of the engine compartment all power returned and I was able to start the Jeep. I am not sure where the proper place to re-attach it is. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to JK Forum. Your profile lists 2007 JK. Agree probably a Ground .. If you connected to the stud bolt in the picture .. got no ARC's and all power returned I would be looking for a nearby ground bolt, stud

Looks like a ground strap that attaches to the firewall. Is that the end or is there another on the same line?
My '12's have that strap that goes to the firewall then up to the hood.
