Doesn't matter what it goes to.
Tie that puppy up out of the way.
Could be an expensive repair.

That Deutsch connector should be clipped to a caddy located on the bottom of the lower crossmember. That should take up most of the slack in the wiring.

Some of us would rather ride than clean, one of the main reasons I never wanted spoked wheels and white wall tires. I too vote for crank position sensor. If that gets ripped off you will need a tow to get home.

I'll probably get slammed for this, but I don't care. Why post on here about a wire hanging down? Just zip tie it to the frame and go on about your business. The internet has made people totally helpless.
