Plug on driver side

On the driver side in the wheel well I have a Plug. It's blocked off. Dont know how many pins it has. Any ideas to what this is? F250 Diesel 4x4.

Why am I thinking a 110v plug-in for the block heater?

If it is in between the Fuse box and the firewall:
It is for a truck with the towing package.
I plugs into the plug going to the two aux relays that mount beside the main fuse box.
Need a photo of one with and one without the aux relays?

If it is near the radiator support by the headlight then it is for DRL.

Why the snark? (I'd try to ignore it, but it's not the first time....)

Is there any chance that there was a stock (i.e., by FoMoCo) plug hanging out in the rear wheel well? I'm asking because I don't know, and you probably do. Hence my question about "snark."

I'm not trying to start something--I'm just asking if there's a reason for the tone, since I come here to either get help or give help, but also to r-e-l-a-x. Snark is not conducive to the latter.

Thanks.

I did not see this post.
That would be the DRL plug.
