I've noticed a cable that's just dangling at the front of the engine bay on my '61 1.4 Multiair and would like to know what it is and where it should be connected to. The other end is attached to the radiator / fan (?) and the fact that it's just hanging there doesn't seem to be adversely affecting the car. Please see attached pics and apologies for my mechanical ignorance.

Been posted on here before.

Our Bravo is exactly the same for the record. Doesn't seem to matter :)

I'm not familiar with the Bravo, but airbag connectors are usually orange and the wiring to them marked with yellow tape, as shown in the above link. They also don't usually use the AMP type of connector show in the OP's picture.

The OP's black AMP connector looks more like the bonnet open switch connector that's fitted in the bonnet catch if the car has a factory fitted alarm.
.
 
Pretty sure the car isn't fitted with an alarm so hopefully this is just redundant wiring for models that do. Will tuck it away, hope for the best and ask about it at the Fiat dealer next time I'm in the area - and hope they don't charge me too much to answer the question.
