Can anyone tell me what this plug is for? It dangles from the driver's side between the rear bumber and rear wheel. 2016 Power Wagon.

Looks like a wiring harness plug for the hitch. Or possibly one for a bed power plug for a trailer.

The trailer wiring is all functional. The rear parking sensors are all functional. The LED bedlights are all functional. I don't have Ram Boxes, but this seems the most logical if they have internal lighting.

Power to the rear gate lock? On my 2014 I had to get inside the gate and disable the locking feature for my usage need. It was 3+ years ago but it seems like the plug looked something like that. Mine is zip tied inside the gate but I suppose if I hadn't it could have fallen out.

The tailgate lock works as advertised. It's got to be for the Ram Box option that I do not have. I've zip tied it up and out of the way.
