Engine bay fuse box wire question

Hi folks, first time posting here! I have an '09 base model hardtop. Just finishing up a clutch job and am re-installing the ECU and fuse/relay box after removing for access to transmission etc from top. There is a red wire with a blue stripe that is supposed to be screwed down somewhere on the fuse box and I can't remember for the life of me where. It's not the large red battery cable. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ready to get this job done and back to driving! I can post a pic if it helps

I've got an '09 Justa that I just finished putting the repaired cylinder head back on. I'll check it out tomorrow and let you know. Post a picture please.

Thanks, here's the pic. It routes from the driver side fender. I think it was attached to the same terminal as the battery but memory is failing me...and I didn't take a "before" pic to remind me now.

I don't have the wire coming out like yours, but it's in a bundle exiting the firewall.


Here's a better pic.


It goes under the fuse box.


Closer view


Sorry I can't be of more help, but I can't remove the fusebox right now.

Thanks hndl, I thought it was something on the bottom. I have a better idea now. If anyone happens to know exactly where it connects, I'd be grateful.

Irseth, I pulled mine apart today, and my car doesn't have a wire coming from the location in your picture.

Anything inoperative, e.g. Ignition, Lights, Instruments...?

I have not hooked the battery back up to see what's not operating. I've been surfing for wiring schematics to no avail
