Tailgate adaptor piece

What is this thing and will I ever use it?

 

If it was in your glove box they are plug blanks incase you take off your tailgate and have to unplug the rearview camera. One gets plugged into the tailgate harness and the other to the truck harness. Protects the male and female sections of the plugs from dirt, getting grounded out and damage.

 

Page 117 in your manual. They cover the ends of the wiring harness that you have to disconnect to remove the tailgate.

 

Wondering the same thing myself, the sales guy briefly pointed it out that it was in the glove box... but he wasn't sure why it was there.

Edit: Ah, I see people answered as I was typing. Good to know!

 

Thanks guys. I don’t ever plan on removing the tailgate so I will toss it. Haven’t looked at the manual yet been super busy since I bought the truck
