Dennis-

What you are describing does not sound like a factory wire. My best guess is it may be a remnant of a car-phone which may have been installed at one time.

Additionally, I would check around for any additional wires that tap into you 12v/accessory wires as an aftermarket accessory installation done improperly will lead to a battery drain issue.

Hope this helps.
