It should connect to 'always live' circuit. One side goes to the column 
light switcher stalk, and the other to ign. switch. Depending on the 
type of connector on the loose wire, you can determine which type of 
connector it came from, but basically trying to find always live wire 
connector that must live somewhere within the length of that wire. If 
you fail, you can attach it to red/black wire already found, via bridge 
clip, and look for proper solution at later date.
