Default What is this?

2014 FLHX, under the seat, in front of the battery--it looks like an electrical plug that isn't plugged into anything, but rather the plug seems clipped onto the caddy. The photos in the owners manual are a little vague when identifying stuff. Is it an accessory plug, or is it some antenna? If it is an acc plug, I'm assuming that I'll need to buy the pigtail from the dealer to use it, yes? Any info appreciated. TIA!

Definitely not battery tender, that's already mounted and is on the left side of the bike near the left cover. Not a tender plug for sure.

I'm thinking the security system antenna. HFSM (Hands Free Security Module) antenna.

My OL 14 Rk has that plug as well as the red under your hand that go to nothing. I wasn't able to figure it out either. The accessory plug mentioned above actually gets mounted to one of the plugs under the left side cover and routed up to under the seat.
