Hi all,

Car is a Mk 3 GT6.

There's a black wire dangling from my harness under the dash, behind the 
  speedo & tach.  Everything is hooked up and ready to go, except this 
wire which is a loose end as it were.  It has two terminals on it, and 
from their position and distance between, the only thing I can see that 
it might be for, is to stick under the instruments' mounting clamps, 
which would ground their casings.  So that's what I did and the fit is 
fine.  And as it's a black wire, it's a ground after all....

What do you think, am I a genius or an idiot?
