Wires in Bed

Happy Thanksgiving all.

I have a question, I was fiddling around with my truck and pulled the bed liner away from the bed at the left (drivers side) corner at the tailgate opening. I found a set of three wires coming out of the bed that have been cut off. These wires are at the top of the bed coming through a whole in the edge of the bed just above the tailgate striker, but on the inside of the bed and are covered by the liner. Any idea what these are for?

Thanks in advance,

Maybe truck had a cap on it? Marker lights, third brake light, ground?

Did you try to trace them back? They sound like topper brake, and dome light wires. Good luck.

Yep, I agree with brd.
Mine has those coming out and that's what they are currently attached to.
Where is the other end?
