Anyone know what this is red and black wire is? I was just admiring my engine bay for fun when I saw it.

It apparently has been disconnected since I got the truck 8 months ago, and I somehow never noticed it. It was tucked away behind the loom...??

red wire is for either trailer brake controller power or trailer connector power (can't remember which) there is another one tucked in between the quarter panel and fuse box, both connect to the post's at the front of the fuse box. if you poke around the forum or online there is documentation on it.
basically it is for the tow package

Thank you sir! You pointed me in the right direction.


The video from etrailer in this thread was very informative.
