This ground wire goes to ???

Looks brown next to the other one which is black. End is broken off so it went somewhere. Both are on the greenish screw on the left side of steering Y. I think I have everything working without it but truck still not road ready. Thanks!

do you have cruise control?
do you still have the seat belt buzzer (square gray box, looks like a speaker)?

here is a box I have not looked up. Doesn't look like a speaker. I do have a seat belt light but if there was a buzzer I'm sure my dad yanked it out when he bought this. No cruise control.

I cannot even find a switch to turn on hazard lights yet.

both of those wires on my '79 disappear into wiring harnesses...one into the bigger main harness and one into a lot smaller harness directly behind the instrument cluster.

Brown wire is usually connected to the taillights, headlight, headlight switch.
