Question rst van project, power to fusebox question (pic)

last year i got an unfinished project, but nothing electrical works,wipers,lights ect, there are 2 thin wires from the battery and one thick wire that goes to the starter, the ignition light comes on and the starter works and turns the engine over, theres no petrol tank on but i did connect the fuel pump to a battery and had the engine running but runs like arse,
does the thick red wire on the grey plug need to be connected (pic) this looks like the only thick red wire going into the bottom of the fusebox, please help

They are usually hard wired in, but could be plug in, easiest way is to look in the terminals of the connector as if it has been connected previously it will have scratch marks inside the terminals.
