Please help identify this wire - '86 3.2

Working on a 86 3.2 Carrera. Found this floating disconnected in the engine bay when troubleshooting the ICV (probably not related?).

Looks like the heater blower motor cable (the big blower on the top-left of the engine). Check to see if yours is in tact.

^^^ I revise my guess; this is the most likely culprit. Ivan called it, I bet...(but the heater blower cable looks just like that, too).
