Mine has the same thing.

Do NOT hold this to be what it is, but I'm WANTING to say it's some sort of test port for the ABS system.

But I'm not 100% sure on that one, so I'll just sit here in my corner and learn..

Sweet. Just was curious. Sitting there by its lonesome with nothing plugged into it. The poor thing!

Hey RLA, is there a self test procedure for the RABS plug? Something similar to the Self Test for the truck, etc.
