Early door locks had 2 connectors, one with a single black wire for the earth. Later cars just had the one.
I think you can just splice it together if you have a later one. Not sure if the wire order or colours are the same between the years but RAVE would show. @martyuk would know.

Sorry, seen I've been tagged in this... but been away for work and just got back today.
The single black wire is the ground for the microswitches in the door latch. Early latches had the 6 pin connector, and then to the other side of the latch is a recess with one single pin in it - which is where the single black wire connects to.
The second version of the latch had all the wiring coming out of the latch itself, and then terminated at 2 connectors - 6 pin, and then a 2 pin connector with just the black wire in it. The third/final version of the latch has just a single 8 way connector, with all the wires in it.
