Default Unidentifiable connector in '97 3500 van

I can't seem to make any sense of what this would go to. It's connected to major systems but doesn't fit any of the computers for this engine. I do know there was a bunch of aftermarket stuff in the back that is not connected anymore (auto door locks, cabin lights, who knows what else as it used to be a mobile mammogram van). Any thoughts? Should I just leave it alone under there? I'm converting it so I don't necessarily need it but it seems like it could be useful. (Located under driver's seat)


The solo wires next to the airbag control

can't imagine the seats weren't stock and they definitely were not power. Hmmm.

These are just some of the things it looks like it's connected to.

Gonna need the service manual, and look at connector location diagrams to determine what that one is.

It's possible it is a connector for options your van didn't have.... Dodge did that a lot on the trucks......

those last pix are output speed sensor for teh computer, and the speed sensor for the speedometer. That connector may have been placed by the company that converted it for teh mammogram van, may have nothing to do with your van.
and just because they may have run teh wire in the corrugated tubing under the van does not mean that any wire in that connector goes to anything you have pictured.
