Default name that wire

started assembling my tailgate today.threaded all the wires but dont have any to plug into this.
it looks like it goes to something by the bootlock.

everything seems to be working without it connected though.
central locking is fine,wiper is fine.
is it a boot pop wire or something?
should it be connected?

Pretty sure it's boot light, the switch for it that is, in which case it will be a closed circuit with the boot open.

What do I win haha? You should have a connector that plugs into that one (Basically the ground from the bootlight)

Trace back to the bootlight, some nupty may have cut them, but there should be a connector which joins the one in the picture.
