Wiring a kill switch
Yes, it's a factory deal. The same wiring harness was used in both the automatic and manual trucks and the jumper was used in just the automatics. Now like I said, not all year models have this yellow wire jumper deal so don't be too disappointed if your truck don't have one.

next time I have the kickpanel off I'll have a better look
This may not be on the Rams but I know it's on the '00 and '01 Dakotas because I have a switch on both my trucks.
If you pull and look at the fuel relay - you will see two larger male spades and three smaller ones.. the two smaller outer spades are activated by the larger spades
put a switch on any one of those spades and put a jumper on the other three...
Basically pull the relay - use a jumper wire (pigtails) with spade connectors - go from relay terminal to the Distribution Box terminal on three of them and run a switch lead on the 4th terminal.. Tuck the relay inside the Dis Box and install the cover...
You do not need to find, cut or trace out any wires or wiring harness or circuits - it's all right there... And it's easy to do and undo.. Just hide the switch in a not so obvious location..
