Default What is this wire pigtail?



i just purchased this 2016 Stingray Z51 and there is an open connector near the manual door release that runs up along the foot rest and then into the engine compartment. I can't trace it from there since it seems to run up under the cover near the windshield wipers. Anyone have any idea what this is? I'm assuming it was put in by the previous owner...could it be for a dash cam or something like that?

Someone added an after market something or other in the past. Not factory as far as I know.

That's what I thought too. Just not sure what someone would plug in down there near the driver's door release...

Maybe to a Holley or Diablo or similar tuner display. Wire could have gone up to the dash and that's just where the PO stashed it after removing the display for sale.
