Are you plugged in to shore power? If so, then the hot wire goes to the converter, and should be connected tp the positive terminal. The ground wire of course goes to the negative terminal.
The third "mystery" wire probably goes to some sort of load drawing appliance, such as an inverter, or power jacks... If this is the case then it needs to go to the positve terminal.... BUT experimenting can be risky. Try to determine just where this wire ends up. If you are in fact plugged in to power,,, see what isn't working now.
for example, if you find that a power jack isn't working, but everything else is, then that would be a pretty good guess as to the destination of the mystery wire... I would wire an properly sized fuse into that wire before connecting it to the positive in any case.
