Funny you should mention it, I made goose tacos today: https://photos.app.goo.gl/GkjifDDb7FXeu3iJ9 The meat went into the crock pot at 8am on the 10 hour setting with a barbacoa spice packet. I turned then at the 4 hour mark and pulled at 9 hours. It shredded up nice:

You can’t see it in the picture but that connector is fitted with a cover/plug protecting it from road schumtz. That’s what made me think it’s something that may or may not get utilized. The hitch does already have a proper wiring harness fitted which made me figure that this random one would be

Re: [MBZ] Dangling Connector Passenger Rear W163

Got it. That looks like a connector that’s important. I would get under there and see if you can tell where it might have been plugged in. If you don’t see anything, just tie it up out of the way as you’ve done and move on. The rubber spring covers are a PITA and I’m not sure exactly why they
