Theres a black wire coming from the wires that run on top of the radiator it has a rubber thing connected at each end to put them together and is hanging by the battery what could it be ? What do i do with it ? is it hot or ground looks like it would go to that thing on the fender that holds the hot wire from the battey ??

4 Amp--goes thru your amp gauge

Does that wire not being hooked up have anything to do with my rear lights not working ?

Not that I know of--if I remember right it only protects the gauge . The 4 wire harness (green, yellow, brown, ?) that comes out of firewall next to gas linkage is what feeds your rear lights-check it out -maybe loose somewhere.
