I would say it is for some accesories you dont have. Most vehicles come pre-wired for most optional equipment. Judging from you gauge cluster, that one doesn't seem to have alot of optional equipment.

I know, My brother bought this jeep brand new off the lot and he wanted just basic... but I like to know what goes in that slot... wire are hooked to the fuse box but what could go in that spot? if its anything I could use I'd like to hook it up and for the cluster I'd like to get the full gauge set up but I think I have to hook up the sensors for that too... who the hell knows...

Foglights and Rear defrost?

Yep, thats probably for some option that you don't have. It that location, I've got my rear defrost. No fog lights on mine. For the spare location, I put my locker switch there. Used a stock switch so it doesn't look out of place. :D

My opinion too. Judging by the position and the two plug styles, fog lights for sure and rear wiper if you don't have one. Rear defrost too.

You win thats what there for. I know this because I have a fog light and defrost switch there. I don't have fog lights so I took out that switch and put the switch for my locker there.

If you don't have AC, you will have all the wiring harness for that too. They just make one harness and then add accessories as the build sheet comes through.

lol its funny how they put those trans switches in cars...

i have one in my tacoma, it doesnt really do anything, they make you think it does, its all in your head.:smiley-laughing021:

it causes it to hold in one gear longer. higher revs, worse gas mileage. but good for towing especially if you have overdrive.

It actually locks the converter and programs the computer to shift at a higher RPM.
