Factory trailer brake wiring. I have a handful on my workbench for when I finally put mine on. On the other side of the firewall you'll have a round 3 pin connector, just disconnect it.

Thanks @Nero. I had no idea they came with factory trailer brake wiring! You learn something new everyday.

Not sure what years had this, but my old 88, my dad's old 89, his current 90 and my 91 all had them.

My 1986 has it as well. Original connector is still in tact but I don't think it was ever hooked up to anything even when an aftermarket controller was installed.
