Single wire is for gear indicator light.....for night-time driving. Just hook it on the fuse box. I can't remember which terminal it is, but it has something to do with instruments, cluster, gauges, or something. If you use a test light, just touch each one and see which will turn off/dim with the headlight knob & clip it to that one!!

Oh, if you remove the two screws that hold the plastic lens on (indicator), there should be a small lightbulb under there. Check it if you don't get the grey wire to work (bulb will likely be blown!)

EDIT: I see in the picture that the indicator housing is already missing and I can see the lightbulb sticking up a little. It is a push-in-&-twist to remove type.
