Mystery Bumper Wires!

[1civilengr]

As I prepare to wire my camper top brake light into the trailer light wiring, I came across these "mystery wires".
Anybody know what these are for?

Thanks!

Thanks! Looks like these are for jumping/charging the primary 12V battery. It also looks like there should be some electrical tape over the connectors - I better take care of that!

They aren't live wires until a jump start pack with appropriate current (greater than 30a IIRC) opens up the relay.

Lots of mysteries, unless you flip through the owner manual… at rivian.com, in the Rivian app, and in the vehicle.

Unknown things can be alarming, best to study the detailed owners manual. Knowledge is peace, thank you for the answers to the question.

Read the owner's manual front to back while sitting in the vehicle. Lots of good stuff in there.

Those power the ejection seats.

lol seriously. Randomly, yesterday, my kids were watching the Simpsons episode where Dangerfield was Mr Burns’ son. RIP Rodney - funny guy.

Or you ask other users on the Rivian forum, which is what this community is here for.

Or you can look at the manual and learn much more than what you didn't know and could have know... if you knew to help yourself to a collection of knowledge you've had all along, on three different platforms (in case one doesn't know that too).

Or you can read/see everything as a personal affront and reject every bit of knowledge that could help you.

Your feelings. Your choice. Your problem.

Makes no difference to me.

And those users on the Rivian forum who have answered this question hundreds of times already are likely to give you a snarky answer.

I wonder how snarky Rivian Assistant will become when asked questions like that over and over...

Seriously though, why call someone a jerk for suggesting to read the manual? The fact they asked the original question implies they will likely have other similar questions and having them look at the owner's manual might, just might, answer their quesitons before they form...
