Brake wires..?

I have a 1980 240D w123, and I drove her home from the guy I bought her off of, and the front brakes are very grabby, but they pulsate. I checked the brakes and found that there is a wire going into the brakes. Interested, I followed the wire up through the wheel well (on the drivers side tire) and found the poor thing cut, tangled underneath a big bunch of wires coming out of the firewall. The rest of this cable goes under the relay box on the top of the drivers side tire well, I found that it has 3 wires wrapped in a black sheath on the cut side of the connector, and 2 wires on the side that goes under the fuse box. So anyway I guess it got pinched or ripped sometime before I got her. Anyone know what these wires are for?? Thanks in advance,
Nick
