    So I pulled two of my stock blank switches and located several wires protruding from the back of said switches.

    Can anyone tell me what these wires are for?

    So my truck came wired for DAC, RSCA? There were no wires coming out of the blank for VSC tho.

    For information, my truck does not have any features except ABS

    All the wires are ran but if you dont have the options in the end it wont plug into anything. The wiring harnesses are all made the same with slight differences in the main harnesses for certain features. Its cheaper not to retool equipment in the manufacturing process.

    ^this...it's just all prewiring because certain trucks had vsc and RSCA, but now it's standard on all trucks since 09
