forgotten wire destination

im reinstalling a 7.3 DIT in 1996 F350, 2wd. theres only one wire i cannot account for. one end comes from the engine wiring harness, the other end is made of two wires that run parallel and both terminate on the same ring terminal. theres writing on the wires that reads "14Ga. fuselink" where am i supposed to put it? its a light green in color so i would guess it was a ground. it starts to separate from the main engine wiring harness near the ign sol. it passes over the pass. valve cover and seems to go .....down? please help me oh more experienced peoples!!!! thanks...

it goes on your starter solenoid. there is a "popular" terminal on it with several pigtails running to it. it goes on there

My guess is it goes to the battery side of the starter solenoid.

Went out and checked my rig. The two green wires (close to the relay you mentioned ) are connected to the front bumper side of the starter solenoid, the big lug connection. Mine goes across the passenger valve cover then into obviation, not down.
