Default Engine harness wire snapped, where does this go?

Hey all,

Had a harness wire snap when we pulled the engine a while back and now my dad and I forgot where it connects to, pics below







Car is a 2008 C6 ZO6, we are stumped. Alternatively, if anyone could point me in the right direction to an engine wiring harness diagram, that would be excellent.

Looks like a black wire with a white stripe, at least I believe it's white, or a very light tint of yellow. Willing to take more pics of alternate angles and provide more information if necessary

Default Wires

From the pictures it looks like these are black wires with a white stripe. Usually black wires are ground wires. And ground wires are bolted/clipped (grounded) to the body or engine somewhere. Just a guess....

That's the left block ground. It had a ring terminal on it. It was secured with a bolt to the block at the position indicated by the arrow:
