I installed the OEM DRL flasher and jumper yesterday and I found a plug behind the fuse box that wasn't hooked to anything. Anyone know what it's for?

It looks like the connector to add a trailer brake controller.

This question seems to come up weekly with the same answer, brake controller connector. Please read the manual and search “what is this connector” posts before clogging up this earth with more wasted threads.
