it wasnt hooked up for anything, im guessing its for an aftermarket part, but what part lol.? The blue and black wires both run to grounds and the other to the fuse box i do believe?

I'm just guessing, but maybe a trickle battery charger?

previous owner probably had some aftermarket lights installed and removed them before selling.

I'm saying this too.

Looks like a battery tender plug hard wired in.

im gonna side with everyone else and say it looks like a battery tender wire.

Why the three wires though? Battery tender doesn't need three wire connection.

Regardless, if two of the wires go to ground, it can't do anything but charge or supply power to something.

theres is a system you can get put on vehicles, usually ones that sit for long periods of time, that trickle charge the battery when it drops below a certain voltage.

What does the blue wire lead to?

 

[rollers888]

to a screw in the firewall. it tested as a ground.

[6shooter]

well, i dont think theres anything out there with the same kind of plug. if it is infact for a battery tender, i think the wire that goes into the fuse block is gonna be hooked up to the stud thats a constant power wire coming from the battery.

i would just pull it out. one thing that bugs the shit outta me when i buy a truck is finding useless wires hangin out there. thats why im so obsessed with hookin up stuff with the factory wiring if its there.

guess i will do that then if it can only be used for that other thing

yeah, it keeps things cleaner, and also makes the truck easier to work on if need be. one thing i cant stand at work on the heavy equipment is having to root through 4 miles of wires that dont do anything anymore just to find out where i gotta start troubleshooting an electrical problem.
