I think thats the OBD-II connector so if you wanted to plug a scanner in or something.

bonjourblink182 · 02-07-2008, 08:06 PM

NOT OBDII scanner, thats mounted to the dash... see upper left corner of second pic...Thats the OBDII scanner

if nothing is wrong it may be for a option that your truck does not have...

OnE SiCk XtReMe · 02-07-2008, 08:33 PM

thats what I was thinking

cpolaris502 · 02-08-2008, 01:40 PM

mine doesnt have it connected to anything either. ive heard it's a ground connector or something, like where a bunch of wires meet up.

Ejection seat option..

GeorgesBlazah · 02-09-2008, 10:18 AM

Thats a limited edition option. Cut the end of the connector off, strip the wires and put them all on your tounge. Let us know your results.

do you have a factory alarm system.

greencactus3 · 02-14-2008, 12:48 AM

i have that same plug. i heard that it was just a ground bundle

gchemist · 02-17-2008, 10:13 PM

Might be a center consol option for lights.

badjuju342 · 02-17-2008, 11:25 PM

It's the self destruct plug! Don't cut the red wire, cut the blue one!

Calvin51 · 02-19-2008, 01:00 PM

Take a Volt/Ohm meter, set it to 100 volts DC,turn the key to the "ON" position. Connect your ground wire to a good ground on the body and take the hot probe and check both pins on the connector. If it has juice it is NOT a ground bundle. If it has juice it should also help you narrow down the search. Not being a smartass but never take word that something is ground. Especially with 2 different color wires. Nothing like blowing up some expensive electronics because you "thought" it was ground. A $10.00 cheapo WallyWorld V/O meter can be your best friend when it comes to wires.

100V dc? whyyyyy

Depends on the meter. Some will go 10,100,1000. Same with AC. Just go whatever the next scale is above the 10 volt.

It looks like a brake controller / trailer light plug.
