Could it be the pick up for your power? I think on the bugeye it is.

Your connections don't look the same as mine (on my 78).
Which brown wire are you referring to?
The heavy gauge brown wire has +12VDC always on.
Things that get power all the time regardless of key position connect to it (through a fuse of course).
