Identify broken wire

I noticed a white/red wire broken off a plug connector near the ICM. Pretty sure it’s been like this for awhile… no idea what it does. Any idea? It’s on the plug with 3 solid red wires. Will replace it if I can figure out the name of that socket.

I'll bet it's for the factory oil pressure gauge; the water temp wire should be red/white-tracer.

Good bet. My factory oil pressure gauge doesn’t work. I assume I could just cut the wire on the other end of the connecting plug and solder them together?

Or use male/female blade terminals, so you can slide them apart if ever needed

They now make connectors/terminals with heat shrink wrap on them.

Something like this, https://www.google.com/shopping/prod...pwGCAc#sgro=om
