The single black wire with a female spade on the end... where does it go? It near the rear left light cluster.
Year of vehicle... unfortunately a mix of everything from most eras, but my guess is this is a mid-80s rear loom.

im sure it pushes on to the rear light cluster

same as above push it behind the rear light cluster bolt and tighten it acts as an earth.

OK sounds reasonable... although I would have expected the termination to be a ring or fork (not female spade) if it were to be clamped under a nut rather than pushed onto a ground tab.

there should be a spade connection for it to plug onto on the light cluster

[colinu]

OK, there my confusion... the original light clusters are long gone and this is a MK1 rear light conversion. I'll just stick a ring terminal on the wire's end and put it under under one of the cluster mounting bolts.

yeah its a small spade connector... you can change the end for a ring terminal etc to use a bolt to earth it
