I seen 2 CUCV's that had a slave cable port on the rear bumper. One was an M1009 and the other was a Pickup. It was not OEM but none the less they were there. Power points for whatever. Are the cables you have long enough to reach a certain point front or rear. Possibly a 24-volt winch. Heaven knows 40 years later.

The wires ended right at the grommet where the 24v radio cables pass through the floor pan as if somebody just snipped them off. It did cross my mind that the license plate recess on my bumper could be a great place for a 24v winch, but then winches are shockingly expensive, so probably not.

Let there be light. Thank you to @WWRD99 for the NPS adjustment procedure and thank you to @cucvrus for the bulbs.

Anybody know the pinout on these? Goal is to power the flood light with the trailer reverse circuit.

AI doesn't know what it's talking about most of the time, so as a rule, I tend not to listen to it, but it did just tell me that the M1009 trailer connection has no reverse light provision, and given four wires, that covers ground, run, turn, and brake. It's probably true. Bummer.
