What is this wire for? Upper glove box

[Bigv]

Hello all I’m trying to find out what this wire is for. It is behind the upper glove box. I just bought a glove box that I’m trying to install. Could it be for the light? It has 6 wires going to it. I have a 2021 tradesman. I cannot find any other wire to plug the glove box light to.

Or it could be for the glovebox light that you're likely missing.

I ordered the glovebox with light. It won’t reach, and it’s different plugs.

It could be the light for the upper glovebox. But I can't remember if Tradesman's have a lid on that upper one.

My Limited Longhorn came with a lighted upper glove box, with lid. Maybe that plugin is for that kind of stock setup?

I wonder if a splitter harness goes there. Now I just need to find the part number.

It’s an in-line connector that carries power, ground, and secured CAN C & IHS from the security gateway to the global telematics box when equipped.

Wow that was amazing. I have no idea what you just said, but thanks lol. I guess I don’t have the wires for glove box.

Does your truck’s window sticker list “connected services delete”?

It’s a 2021, so it didn’t use a telematics box for connected services.
For pre-2022’s the telematics box is for fleet tracking telematics, so not many trucks would be ordered with it.

That explains it.
