What is this cable

[3jacks]

I have won my first GP auction: 1992 M998 HMMWV, 6.2L (my avatar photo). Awaiting EUC approval. I'm guessing checking the EUC status 3 times a day isn't helping the time pass...

i spend most most evenings reading all I can about maintenance, upgrades and generally making out a massive Christmas list of stuff. After looking at the photos on GP of my vehicle (again) I noticed a cable which appears to originate under the steering column. I can't tell if it's attached by the drivers foot or is sitting loose and in all the photos of auction humvees I have not seen this cable.

can anyone identify this and / or tell me what this might be?

I use that to lock the steering wheel with a padlock.

Thanks Evil Dr...never thought it was for that. I can cross off "anti theft device" from the Christmas list!
