I would guess that it's the white/yellow wire that should run from the
starter solenoid to the ignition coil. It's function is to bypass the
ballast resistor while the engine is cranking, for (theoretically) easier
starting (primarily in cold weather). If you only drive the car in warm
weather (and I'm right about what it is), you can probably just leave it
disconnected.

Should be a second, smaller male spade, but it sometimes gets broken off or
may be missing from replacement solenoids.
