    Anyone know what this is for?

    Thanks!

    ~OK. Used for trickle charging during shipping. Ignore it.

    It was used for a battery disconnect device installed at the factory to prevent battery discharge after leaving the factory and removed by the selling dealer before sale. The other end is under the rear seat on the right side near the fuel pump harness. It serves no purpose anymore.

    Don't remove your rear seat....there is a wire under there that isn't attached to anything either. It once was attached to an LED light that hung on the rear view mirror to let the off-loaders know which vehicles may require a jump start.
