Default Grounds

Good day.. have a quick question I put some heated grips on my 2008 ultra and haven’t worked since (few months).. haven’t found anyone to help other than a shop for $400 or so.. but with not knowing wiring at all and bad at it.. thought I’d open up the fairing and take a look.. finally found a white plug connector not plugged into anything.. which looks like the male part of it just behind it (pictured).. wanted to check here first before guessing.. do these go together? And be the problem?




Is this white connector a ground that plugs into the metal male end that looks like it’s screwed right to the frame

Don`t guess, unless you have a fire extinguisher handy...
