Default What is this??

I found this tied into the main light switch harness and stuck to the top of the parking brake release recess, just the hot and ground were tied in, the rest of the wires went nowhere, any ideas?

I just wonder if the dealer I bought it from put it on there or a previous owner, like I said, it only had power going to it, the output harness was missing.
