Static/ ground cable under hood

[Simplejack]

cleaning today wasn't sure if this was for a ground on a hood light that wasn't there. only thing I found out might be static stopper? Or I can hook up a cable to it and go back to future next lighting storm. 1 Billion Gigawatts!

That's a bonding strap...on a hood...worse place to ground any electrical device...

Bonding strap is wide (wide is better) to lower capacitance for stray RF interference signals shielded by the hood coming from the various digital signals. And protecting the electronics in the car from strong RF signals outside the car. (CB/Ham Radio, Police etc. Not just for grounding.
