Why? For what?

[Sam_Fear]

Took my back bumper off to change a brake light bulb and found this crudge wired into the light harness. I can't find any sign there was any hitch attached anywhere.

It's at the rear of the car so it has to be for the diesel tank heater, no wait, its the battery charger because it's an electric car, it's a.......... bad idea

That's backup power for your house when the light go out. Just plug it in and you're golden

I wondered where my extension cord went....[S

 

[Bonehead]

It is obviously a factory option, for people who car camp. That is where you plug in the toaster.

 

[Yankee Transplant]

Yes-sir -eee everyone has a toaster on camping trip

 

[Stroker McGurk]

Poor mans trailer harness.....maybe had a hitch that clamped on the bumper

Might have been someones answer to "lights" for working on the rear of the car say in a flat tire situation on a back road. Could have had a 12 volt light that plugged in. Looks like there is a few feet of cord there...

 

[Sam_Fear]

There was only about 1 foot of available cord. Wired left and right signals and running lights. No ground.

Maybe he had a bumper hitch like above?

I'm surprised you didn't recognize the power for the purple neon lights that were previously under the car! [ddd[ddd[ddd

my grand father had a cord hooked in the back of a old studebaker wagon, he used it for lights when we went hunting. but i don't think it was hooked to his tail lights.
