Default 104 wiring mystery

After finishing up work in the shop yesterday I rolled my 104 out for it's daily run-up. The wiring harness sticks out quite a bit and I hooked it with my heel but no apparent damage was done - until I turned the key. Nothing, no click of the solenoid, just nothing. I started the search and noticed a large square lump under the tape (PO did a HD wrap job on the whole harness). When I peeled it open, I saw what looks to a blade fuse block with a piece of house wire jumping the two connections (see pic). One of the wires had come loose - as soon as I reinserted it, the engine fired right up.

I looked up the wiring diagram I downloaded from OCC and the diagram from the service manual (pics are the diagrams I have) but the only fuse I see indicated is for the lights which my 104 does not have.

Am I missing something or does this just look like a PO "Mystery Mod" that I should remove and rewire properly?

Thanks!
Neil
