Steve, I think that is there if you have a dually for the fender marker lights. The SRW trucks and the DRW trucks have the same wiring harness.

Do you have ABS brakes? If not, I would assume its the wires for that. Not sure though, my buddy has a 99.5 with the same thing.

OT: there is a wire for dually marker lights in all SRW rear wheel wells???

Yea, I guess ABS as well. I have a 2000 and have those connectors too. Only 2W ABS for me!

How many wires are in the harness? My computer screen at works sucks and I can't tell from the picture. It almost looks like the plug for the lighted running boards. It only has two wires.

It is not for the ABS. I have that plug and ABS. It is two wires if I remember correctly. The lighted running board could be correct. It is fastened toward the lower back side of the fender liner I think. Is ther one on the passenger side?

OK. I lied. If it is the plug toward the back bottom of the fender liner mine does continue on to the ABS. If that is a different plug I am clueless right now.
