Wire from Rear housing

Just recently bought a truck (first Ford pickup). Digging for info and trying to determine how much it has been modified.

What is the wire coming out of the rear axle housing?



The truck is a 2004 F150 SuperCab Flareside FX4. There is a chance the prior owner used it around a farm or mudded with it. Is it some kind of sensor?

Probably the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) which is where the speedo gets its signal and also for the ABS brakes.
