Since it was the ignition wire i expect at some point somebody had an
alarm, Immobiliser or a cutoff switch under the dash connected in there
which was later removed.
Always worth investigating any non original bits of a wiring loom.
I had an alarm fitted to a Fiesta in the early 90's, it had to be fitted
by the alarm company to get the certificate for the car insurance at the
time.
I watched him fit it and when he had done the wiring i said, "it's ok,
i'll put the dash back together later".
As soon as he had gone i removed all the Scotch locked in wires and
soldered them all.
Finding radios and alarm systems connected in with just twisted wires is
very common.

After over 17 years of having an intermittent fault on the ignition
wire, I Finally got around to looking at it this week as it was
becoming a right pain in the backside!
I unwrapped 18” of the wire back to where it joins up with the rest of
the loom.
About half way along I found some gaffer tape.........
Under the tape was a Really bad bodged join.
Two bare wires had been put next to each other and crimped/squashed
together, then wrapped in gaffer tape.
No solder, no heatshink, no nothing, except hope.....!
I have now replaced it with a length of new wire (properly joined).
It works now Open-mouthed smile
