Anyone tell me what this is? I assume it's not factory installed?

CDLong
Unknown part
This is on my driver's side inner fender. I don't think it's from the factory. I have no idea what it is or why it's there. The truck does have lights installed by one of the 3 POs. There are no switches inside the cab for any of these lights? The wires to the fuse are cut? The license tag is from my Silverado, I bootlegged her home.Back up lightFront lights

I found a blown fuse. The light under the rear bumper works when in reverse. The 2 lower grill lights work on low beam and the 2 upper work on high beam.

The piece om the inner fender is part of an old trailer electric brake control. They were used with a brake controller like this, if needed:

This is a hydraulic actuated electric brake controller made by Kelsey-Hayes and is no longer as it is not compatible with ABS systems.
