I've attached 2 pictures. On one, why do I have a spring loaded switch on the driver's side that would activate when the hood is open or close? 2, on the other picture, I just noticed that wire which appears to have once been attached to a prong and that prong broke off in the clip. The other end of that wire is secured to the inner fender well with a ring terminal. That wire is under the battery tray. If anyone knows the purpose of either of these, please try to help. Thank you.
P.s., that wire is most likely a ground and if it broke recently, that would explain my codes that were different every time that I deleted them then re-read them.
Also, the wire to that spring loaded switch runs into the factory wire harness.
