Under the dash looking for the brake wires for my contoller. These wires were hanging there. Two of them have connectors on the end and the other bundle is just four dead ended wires (orange green grey and brown). Any clue what thay may be for?


FWIW, my wires for the brake controller were just barely sticking out, could have easily not seen them if it wasnt for the flashlight.

 

They are for the roof off road lights and the roof/cab amber lights maybe even the front middle bumper fogs. Nothing to worry about. I just ziptied mine out of the way.

 

I used the smaller one as a hot source for my back-up camera monitor. Makes me feel a little better knowing what they are for now too :lol:

 

Funny, I posted thevsame question on here a dew months ago. No one responded, glad to know I am not the only one with hanging wires though.

 

They are nice for that... switched wires already ran for you are awesome...

 

Airborn, Thanks for the info. I knew they were factory, but didnt know what they were for. Widespread, thats a great idea. I may have to use your idea.

 

awesome idea for another use

 

The knowledge in here is just invigorating!! Was wondering the very same thing BHEFF!!! Thanks for the post!

 

is there a switch already for these wires? or do i have to put a switch in? where do these wires run to other then from the battery?

 

From reading posts from a couple of years ago on this same subject, I recall the wires are not connected on either end and terminate on the other end undeneath the fuse box.
