Default Loose ground wire?

Hey gang, I noticed a broken ground wire while I was under my 94 the other day. Haven't fully checked the FSM yet but wondering if anybody had an idea of where it might connect. The wire in question is on the drivers rear section of the car between the rear quarter panel and the muffler canister. I looked and couldn't see anywhere that it looked like it was attached. I tried to find the area bolts that had a wire retainer clip with no attached wire but no luck there. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
-Dave

I've got the same thing, found it last night plus I can't get mine started after the heater core replacement. Dash being torn out as we speak, well not right this minute I took a break to get more coffee. Keep me posted.

I'm in a class all week this week so I'll try to take a look tomorrow. I would assume you mean it's the ground from the antenna but it appears to be coming from the front of the antenna going towards the rear of the car. Or do you mean it should be connected to the antenna?

Sorry my brain is fried from being in class, can't think stright right now, need more sleep!
