What is the lowere cable about ??? Curious minds want to know

I just changed my switch too. Nice to have the light. In my case it has been two years.

I thought that the extra cable was for the emergency trunk release. It is needed to open the trunk if the battery dies. I didn't explore further, but it appeared to lead in that direction.
