I've been looking across the forums and can't seem to come up with what exactly this wire is coming out of the back of my radio.
What is this wire coming off radio

Looks like the ground wire that ties the two chassis together to minimize noise when using external components, CB, EQ or amplifier. The CB has a round connecter on the side under your hand with 10 or so connections in addition to those wires.
Black is ground. as shown in a bunch of other forum postings and other sites. Your radio harness should have the corresponding pigtail that plus into it while the rest of the harness is one big plugin to the radio for power/speakers/power antenna etc.
It's an 87 Cutlass
it's wrapped in black shrink wrap looks kinda clearish under that.
And yes black is ground but it's the black wire with the 3 connectors that plug into the other side not this wire. All the other wires I have correlate with any other diagrams I've found. As well as correlating with the connectors under the dash.. any video I find when the radio is pulled I don't see this particular wire.. car never had a cb radio to my knowledge if that's what's being referred to above..
Pink wire commands antenna so no not antenna. Power is yellow wire part of three connector on other side. I'm assuming it's an option I didn't have.. only thing I hadn't pictured when I took apart a couple years back and I don't have any other connectors left under dash soo more looking for someone who has this same wire themselves.
And no continuity to the case or any other connectors in the radio.
