wire found its way into fan belt

alright this is just what i need. i took a turn doing about 60 just playing with the new suspension i dropped in and all of a sudden all my warning lights pop on. i check under the hood and find a wire destroyed in the fan belt. i see plenty of the wire but not where its from or where it ended. also on the instrument cluster my oil pressure and voltage guage went down a little. anyone that knows where this wire comes from or where it goes would really fix my day thanks

theres alot of wires around that area. we need a pic of the wire and fan area to determine what it could be.

maybe A/C compressor wire? that comes from the front driverside and runs around the PS pump area behind the compressor to the top of it, i could see that wire becoming loose and getting wrapped up into a belt, especially if it wasn't hooked up and secured before you super turn good luck and take it easy speed racer... LOL
