Extra Harness Above Spare Tire

[sasbowtie91]

Noticed this harness sitting above my spare tire this afternoon. A search of the part number looks like it just calls it “Wiring Harness - Jumper”. Anyone know what it is for? It is just bundled up and wasn’t attached to anything.

What kind of truck and trim?

I believe this is part of the aux switch wiring. There's a post somewhere else on here talking about it.

3500 Crew Cab SB SRW Laramie with the standard output Cummins

That isn’t the aux switch wiring. Do you have the tailgate camera package? Maybe something for that.

 

[sasbowtie91]

I didn’t end up ordering the tow technology group, so the only camera I have is the one in the tailgate. Giving it a quick look over, I didn’t see any obvious places that the harness would be used in the rear area of the truck. I’ve got a few things to pickup from my dealer this week so I will ask them when I stop in.

Might be 5th wheel or gooseneck trailer wire for the plug in the bed

Somewhere someone's truck is missing a harness...

There are miles of wires in these things maybe your truck is ‘’growing’’ more like a tree sending out suckers

Above the spare tire? Where, precisely? Front, back, sides? Oh, gawd... now I gotta go look and it's still winter.

a harness to relocate the reverse cam should you install a camper?
