Very well could be. Post the top side of the board. Is there a lot of corrosion around the capacitors? That is the area where 1g dsms are notorious for leaking acid and can cause a mountain of start up problems.

Are you getting any clicking from behind the radio? Can you hear the fuel pump turn on?

As far as that wire though, if it is coming in to contact with any other solder joints on the back of the board it wont do anything good for you thats for sure.
