Hi all, my remote central locking packed up randomly... Looked for the unit that controls it and found this earth loop just hanging there .. that's not right is it?! Where does that need to go?

Possible that the unit has been replaced at sometime, and the person that did the job forgot. It wouldn’t have left the factory like that I’m sure.Thank you, but how the hell has it come undone?? No one has touched it???
Anyway, its there as a grounding for any perceived interference that the item may receive.
It appears that some don't know its function
