Need help identifying this wire!

[Eddyram2017]

This is not my truck.
It is a friends a 2017 dodge ram.
They had a rat chew a wire behind their glovebox.

I am just trying to assist them in identifying what the wire is.

There is no dash lights on or fuses blown

I want to say that it's for the Passenger Side Footwell Light. The wires are present even if you don't have the lights.

Anyway to test or verify?
I was personally thinking it may be wire for optional glovebox switched light.. for top glovebox

That is possible. The glove box light wire is taped up behind the glove box.

This is the only other additional information I received from her.

I read on another posters thread who installed Foot well lighting that the wire was white/yellow..

Could be, I was going by position, not color. That's pretty much exactly where the wire for the footwell lights was when I added them to my Express. The upper glove box light is also possible. You can put a meter on it. If it's the glove box light then it should have power all of the time, as the switch for that is built into the light fixture. If it's the footwell light then it will have power when the doors are open and fade to 0v when the doors are closed along with the dome light.

Thanks Kad. I haven't had a chance to look at the vehicle itself. Just the images, I assumed the glovebox light would be a constant as it's usually a pressure switch.

Our main concern that it wasn't for anything ecu related. If it's either the glove box or foot well lights it can just be capped off and left alone lol since she has niether options in the vehicle.
