That fuse looks like it is in position B7 which is brake lights/cruise control, but I don't know if that gives any clues.

What was it? Poor DIY stuff. The black wire (w/ red+white) is what you need to chase down; the white connected to the larger gauge red should just follow to a ground...it's possible they ran this red all the way to the battery (you might want to check). What the black is...who knows? Perhaps phone charger (but doesn't look right), radar detector, etc. My guess is that it runs somewhere behind the center stack...pull off the center side trim and have a look. I would guess that (based on connection) the black isn't zip-tied (but then again, who knows), you might just be able to pull it out.
What I would do... Disconnect. Remove. Smile.

I unhooked it, drove, nothing seems to be wrong. I'm going to take your suggestion and see if its behind the center stack.

No. It's supposed to be hooked up to the battery vent hole.

I have a sealed battery so I guess that's why. Thanks

Some sealed (and AGM) batteries still have a vent. Double check on the sides of your battery just to make sure!
