You didn't mention what model car you have but that wire is most likely one of the chassis grounds, most neg. battery cables got bolted right to the block because the starter is the biggest draw in the system. If all your other accessories were working there shouldn't be a problem. Some cars had the battery ground to the frame and the engine block also to the frame. I saw an old Pinto once that lost the engine ground and when the starter engaged it tried grounding thru the throttle cable, turned the cable cherry red.
This thread, so far...
