Question Wiring Question

Hey guys. I was putting new shocks in the 2016 4X4 today, and noticed some wires hanging down. So I started looking them over and they appear to be cut and sealed off maybe? I don't have a wiring diagram, but this doesn't look factory to me. I just got this truck a few weeks ago. Anyone have any idea what this stuff is? Looks like it's coming from the main harness in the back and maybe the wires going into the tailgate? I couldn't really tell. Here are the wires I'm concerned about. Those three almost look like tubes instead of wires. IDK. Any help is appreciated.

Ahhh, OK. So nothing to worry about then? I think I'll just wrap them up a little nicer and call it good.

Thanks!!!

That was a pretty hack job. Wrap them for sure.

Makes me sick that a dealer would do this

The 2 wires that are sealed are the original grounds that are no longer used when we do the recall. The 3 you have circled are not wires, they are harness supports to stop the harness from bending. They are short pieces of tubular plastic to give firmness. The 2 you have circled on the left are the new connections spliced into the old harness. At best they didnt tidy up the harness with some chloroplast tape or loom. Wrap them up and youll be fine.
