Default Loose cable in the trunk

Hello, i’ll appreciate the help, last week i took my 2017 to an autozone to change the battery and everything went just fine, but 2 days ago i noticed that the adjuster of the lights in the dash wasn’t working, i opened the battery compartment and i have a cable that is disconnected but i can’t find where it should be, i’ll include some pictures

I recall Unhinged answering this in a previous post. It's not needed, but perhaps he'll chime in with the specifics.

Disconnected by dealer after delivery. Not used again. Think was used for tracker.

^^ What others have said. Not used after shipment to the dealer.

I tell interested parties that it is there to power the Ejector Seats.

I think it was used for transportation. As others have said, not needed afterwards.

I successfully used it for my missile launcher.

Can you get the knob to pop out?

I thought I had the same problem but it turned out (at least with my car) that the dash brightness knob wouldn't adjust the brightness unless the car was in the dark. Sounds weird but if its dark and I'm on the road it works. If it is light out the adjuster does nothing. Maybe day and night modes for dash lights?

As suggested above, try twisting the knob when there’s no daylight.
