Another "What is it?" question
Snooping around under my truck the other day to make sure all is good to go since we have a couple of storms coming..and I noticed this 2 wire "harness" behind the left/front wheel well.


Any thoughts on what it "should" go to?
99 F350 Lariat. Auto trans.

Possibly a feature I could add? (Always room for more truck "toys")

Thanks all!

ABS sensor wiring for those trucks equipped with 4 wheel ABS. Should have one on both sides.

WOW...That was fast. I hardly had to to refresh the page.

So... no new pre-wired toys. Oh well.

The only other possibility wiring wise in that location I would think would be running board lights. But the OP's pic looks like my ABS sensor location on my 2000.

Its the ABS sensor on the hub. Looks like your ABS is not hooked up Jim.
