whats this?

under my drivers side kickpanel is a 2 wire male connector. the female connector is clear and it has a diode connecting the 2 wires on the male connector. what is this for? does anyone else have this? i have seen another trans am at the boneyard that had this too. but this does not look factory though.

my manual says its for a car without digital cluster only.

it keeps the current from the alternator from making you dash lights dim and brighten is cycles.

Transmission: i dunno
who knows..maybe someone wired an amp in and was too lazy to remove the wiring..Or its actually for something. I have two female wires coming from under my rug. Im guessing the same thing. Some weak *** previous stereo....I dunno If its not broke dont fix it.

Edit:they arent female coming from under the rug its male. Sounds like something like yours....who knows. Ive never really cared to look into it.
