Default Singer Featherweight - No light, frayed cord ! Any idea ?

hi all,

when i got my FW, the light won't turn on. thinking that the old light was busted i decided to buy a new light bulb. but when i plugged in the new light bulb, still it will not turn on. motor runs but light will not turn on. i decided to check the underside to check all the wirings. all look ok except for this frayed cord that i saw. i check everywhere to make sure that there is no cord that should have been connected to it or that it was not accidentally got cut off. but couldn't find the other part of the cord. the wiring looks clean inside. i am really puzzled what this frayed cord it. could this be the reason why my light will not turn on? should this be connected to something ? you will see it with the red arrow on my picture below. appreciate the help of FW experts. thanks again.
