2017 Seneca Refrigerator wire to nowhere

During winterization, removal of the ice maker solenoid, I must have somehow disconnected a wire and now cannot figure out where it was connected. In the outside access panel for the refrigerator, there is a black box on the left hand side that has numerous wires(red black yellow) coming out of the bottom of the box. From left to right, there is a small diameter red wire then a small diameter black wire. The small black wire is then connected with a spade connection to a larger diameter black wire. This large black wire is my problem. It is stripped back on the open end but I don't know where it is suppose to be connected. Could someone look at their outside frige access and tell me where the wire goes. I have tried to understand the schematics in the Norcold paperwork but can't make heads nor tail of them.
Hope this makes sense.

This is a photo I took to help another owner identify the icemaker solenoid to help with winterization. Any chance you see your unknown wire in there?

My unit is stored, sorry this is all I have for now!

It is very difficult to be sure that I have the correct wire but it looks like the small guage black wire goes to a heavier wire that is grouped another black wire. These two wires are then connected to one of the black wires that runs up and out of the cabinet. The photo showed where the two wires come together. I just dropped the unit off at the shop so I will not able to check on anything for a few more days. Hopefully you can figure it out. Click image for larger version

RVermont Thanks for the pic.
When u get your unit back can u tell me if one if the 2 black wires joined together goes to the white heating wire that wraps around the solenoid. I sure hope so as that looks like the only possibility.

Finally had time to go get a pic and Yes one of the black wires does connect to the white heating wire.

Got to love the wire system. White connects to black. Black to black. Just no rhyme or reason.

Hope you get it cleared up.
