Just picked up a new 2017 Rubicon with manual shift and power steering. Was looking it over and there are a couple wires that go nowhere. Does anyone know what they are for? Dealer was no help.

Probably accessory plug in. Put a circuit tester to it and see if lights up

Agreed, same small wires on my rancher.

I don't think anything plugs into it. It's a wire "joint". You can see there are a couple wires going into it. I have the same wires on mine.

Same wires on mine, don't know what they are for, perhaps they are used on the DCT models...

Thy are not a joint. They would not have them external on the harness. There are 2 like this. One is a bit lower. I checked a DTC model and they have it as well. I pick the machine up tomorrow and will check them for power.

Probably pre-wired for a winch....

I wouldn't worry about them.

same thing on my but they are covered in clear plastic on mine and are tucked in on the frame, I am not worried about them at this time.

I'm not concerned with them but wondering what they could be used for and how there wired. The dealership doesn't use them to I stall the winches.

I'll check them for power. Could possibly be used for signal wires for winches or heated grips.
Would be nice to know if there fused and to what circuit

I know they aren't used for the winch as mine has the Honda installed unit and those wires are not used

Well if they are not a joint then why are they crimped and sealed? I have a DCT model w/PS and have the same thing on mine. Mine has 2 wires one each and they are crimped and sealed. I believe that's how it is on the wiring diagram as well. Also all the keyed power for accessories comes from a second harness in the front of the machine.

They are a joint, you are correct. I finally found a schematic. Just strange why they would have them external of the harness with a clear rubber cap and not heat shrinked and sealed internal in the harness.
