What's this earth for?
Any idea what this tiny earth on the inside of the centre pillar is for? RHD model.
Yes I'm going to repair it... found whilst looking for water.

That yellow wire needs some attention also by the looks of it
Quite often the centre pillar is/can be used to 'hide' a tracking device - may be its an old earth for that?

Yellow wire and earth wire repaired. However still curious as to what this earth is for. Definitely seems to be part of the factory loom.

It's C2711. It's a wire that's declared "NOT USED" on a 2005MY, and deleted by 2008MY.
