Default Question about harness during amp install

I am putting an amp in a buddies 2018 Road Glide Special. After putting everything back under the seat I see that I have one harness connector that appears to not have a connection. Can anyone help me identify this connector. I looked on my bike ( 2016 Road Glide Special and my harness is completely different. It appears to come up from the connector that slides onto the metal tab that holds the battery cover down loops back to the rear corner of the seat pan and then lies forward. Here are some pics.

Is that the connector for the fuel tank?

I don't have a bike that new but on my 2010 there is a plug under the seat that is not plugged up because I don't have any official "accessories" such as heated grips or seat. It is switched off and on by the accessory switch on the dash. If his bike has an accessory switch maybe hook up a test light to ground and turn the accessory switch on and off and see if any of those pins go hot and then dead as you flip the switch. If it does then that would indicate that it is the factory accessory plug and was not connected to anything before y'all took the bike apart.

Figured it out. He had some additional light on the bags when he purchased the bike.
