I found the same plug by the airbox yesterday, doing the same as you. The ground point I found the week or so before, when I finally wired in my winch. I terminated the winch there vs on the battery.

I noticed those capsules too. I have no idea what they are. I looked for it on the wiring diagram too but didn't see it.

I always make a new ground when wiring accessories. The frame is a ground and you can use that. I cleaned the paint off a spot of the frame and bolted on a buss bar. I run all of my grounds to that bar.

Its just a junction point for wire combination.
I think there is 3 or more on the 500's.
2 are straight up grounds. Green wires.
The other I think is positive. Black with red stripe. Forgot where it was.

Besides the green plug by the air cleaner housing, I see another plug that has a brown w/white stripe wire going to it. It is about 3" away from the green, closer to the housing. I'm looking at the wiring diagram, but haven't figured it out yet.
