Sandy, for sure someone made a bridge to solve some connection problem.
Maybe the previous owner had problems with the horn and did not know that at the joint there should be a cable for making ground,

Either way, you should check where the cable comes from and where it goes to.

were it a +2 and Black with brown trace it might be a low fuel warning light feed. which could be the right sort of location
were it brown with a trace colour, then if following Lucas guidelines, it could be an un-fused live,
[I'm aware yours doesn't have the extra wine space of a +2]
