Any ideas? Black wire running through frame. Broken and dangling.

That looks like an aftermarket wiring. May be for some kind of accessory. Might be a ground for something.

Hmm, ok thanks. I was hoping it might be for the wheel sensors as I can’t get mine to reset!

Did you trace the other end where it broke off from? See where it routes. Then may be you'll be able to see what it connects to.

Get a multi meter and see if it is grounded to frame and battery negative.
