Hi - you presented you header with a question mark then posted a picture, can you expand on what exactly you are asking us here.
Where is the wire that you say is cut and what function does this or did this unit perform?

I can only imagine the op is on about the taped up conductor that's probably been caught in the door hinge???
Maybe its a quiz
