What would the second cable be for? I didn't hook it up because when I touched it to the same post the first one was on, I got a pretty good spark--just enough to make me unsure of what I was doing. It wasn't yet connected to the converter, but there may have been a charge on the batteries. i think both should be hooked together to the inverter, but I don't know what it's for. It has no voltage on it. The cable disappears into the forward wall of the compartment.

Reminder to self: It's really easy to take a picture before dis-assembling!

Thanks
You might check to see if it was a ground connected to one of the mounting bolts..
