I think it would help if you pointed out by means of an arrow what wire your on about. If its the black and yellow wire, which in that picture could be the only one I amagine your talking about, then thats where it should be. Theres another black and yellow wire that bolts to the frame just in front of the rear shock mount, but i cant see that in your piccie.
If your talking about any other wire in that picture i wouldnt even know which ones they are, it looks like wire spaghetti!
Hindsight is a wonderful thing but wouldnt it have been easier to label up the loom before taking it out??
