it just goes to ground, the wire you should connect to the handbrake circuit.

I found the easiest way to do it is to, connect the handbrake wire to the black earth wire in the same loom you only need a few cm`s so you can do away with the rest, This will then get an earth signal as if the handbrake was on so will work as you drive so passengers can watch
