I have a plug in my Jeep that me nor the guys on JeepsUnlimited can figure out. Any idea what it might be? And no... its not the OBD2 connection.

I had something similar on my old Blazer, it was an anti-theft device. I think you can take the insert out and disable the vehicle entirely if youre planning to store it or something.

hmmm interesting. But fuck that. It NEEDS to be a trailer brake controller connection. LOL

It very well could be, mine was a Chevy and looked more OEm than that. Yours looks like an add-on maybe.

That definitely looks after-market, my guess would also be an alarm or something.

yeah it is a security thing, take the cover off and it will not start. if you don't have the big round 6 pin connector in the rear of the car it will not have a trailer brake plug in the front and it will be a little more work to wire in.

I thought Trailer set up. But that would be a "High end" one from a few years ago. Then again if you don't have a 7 way or a 4 way on the back of the jeep it's for sure not it.

You could always take a test light take the cover off, turn a blinker on and then start testing the connectors in it. If you get one that blinks it would be a trailer connection.
