Default Do any wires earth to the passenger side footwel??

I know u have a main earthing point for alot of wires in the drivers footwell behind the speaker pod, but do any earth in the passenger side? reason being i have a brown wire that comes from in the door but it doesnt appear to join to anything. Im not sure where its from, be it central locking or electric window and i cant really be done with taking the panel off again lol. Just wondered if anyone can confirm this please.

Oh right cheers mate, thats great. Hmm dunno why mines not joined then, maybe i'll just earth it to the body anyway, shouldn't think it'd do it any harm hey, better than not being earthed lol.
