Default Brown wire?

Hi all,

Can someone verify something for me? Does the brown wire, located at the steering column, attach to the capacitor, attached to the column? If not, any idea as to where it goes? I can't find the pictures that I took on disassembly so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bryan

That’s what I figured but you can never be too careful. Thanks Greg.
