need help identifying a wire in the engine bay.

On the drivers side of the engine compartment between the firewall and wheelwell is a black wire with a red stripe. It looks like it has a fuse holder attached. The fuse holder is broken and the wires are separated. Does anybody know; what that wire goes to, is that a fuse and if so what amperage it should be?
Thanks,

Anything electrical not working? Maybe it was to power an accessory that the p.o. had and removed. Here are the wire diagrams.

Do you still have a window washer bottle. If not it could be for the washer pump.

At this point I still don't know what all works and what does not. I am not sure what the last owner did but it looks like if he had a problem he just ran a new wire to it. I have a real mess to work through. I don't have a washer bottle but will at some point. I am really looking into a total harness replacement. right now I just want to get it running and drive it around the block once.

It goes to the backup lamp switch which should be attached to the steering column.
