Odd wire...

As some of you may know, I've had some teething electrical problems on my XM. Looking at the space behind the left hand (if youre sitting in the car, your left then) headlamp cluster, near the auxiliary fuse box, there's a wire. It looks like twin wires bound together, one of which is green. It ends in a black plastic connector and the connector looks somewhat like a car fuse connector.

However, it has three holes in it, and is coloured purple.

Does anyone have any idea what this is? Could it be the cause of some of my electrical problems or is it maybe just a fitting for an extra that wasn't included in my model of XM.

The vehicle is 1994-95 XM Series 2, 2.0 litre CT Turbo Exclusive.

I could get a picture with my digital camera if it would help.

There are a number of 'spare' connectors about the car because the equipment level varies from model to model, so unless it looks as though it has been plugged into something, I wouldn't worry about it.
