The wire goes behind the dashboard.
The top can be unplugged just like a fuse.

Claude seems to think it's most likely a battery maintainer. But I want to learn more about 12V heated clothing. :)


This appears to be a 2-pin accessory power connector, most commonly used as the cabin-side connector for one of the following aftermarket accessories:
  1. Battery maintainer / trickle charger (most likely)
  2. 12V heated clothing (Gerbing/Warm & Safe style)
  3. 12V air compressor or portable accessory power
  4. Less commonly, an old CB radio or other removable accessory.

Follow the cable:
  • If it goes directly to the battery (possibly through an inline fuse): it's almost certainly for a battery maintainer or general 12V power.
  • If it goes through a relay or switch: it may have powered an accessory.
  • If it disappears toward the firewall and then to the front bumper/grille: it could have been for a block heater or external charger connection that someone relocated.

Who has a hardwired plug specifically for heated clothing? This is a time when I don't fear AI taking over.
