By the battery behind the headlights, right?

Do you have any notable lack of options, like foglights, etc?

It's blue so it's for bluetooth.

It's configured like a relay, so horn or lights. This horn will work:

Perhaps it has a home in the IPM when other accessories are included.
Mike, will it reach the IPM / TIPM?

Looks like a relay plugs into that connector. Terminals, from the top down, are:
30
86,87a,85
87

Relay like so: HELLA 933332051 12V 20/40 Amp Relay, Lighting - Amazon Canada

I don't have fog lights, so, maybe you're right.

You're right!

To be honest, my minivan is a little bit messed up.
I had a problem with tailgate latch, ABS, airbag... so, upon the "recommendation" of other T&C owner I drove to diagnostician. Even to this day I find unplugged connectors...

Can confirm, probably for the foglights. Mine is tucked under the fuse box and taped down to the harness, probably like it was from factory.

As I mentioned previously, the configuration is for a relay (to plug in). Take a look at the blades on this male portion of a relay.

Compare that with the receptacle the OP provided a picture of. That's not an ordinary electrical connector. It's a receptacle for a switchable relay.

Perhaps it's for towing or being towed. Does the TIPM have a relay location for power adjustable pedals. What relay location is missing from the black box?

No power adjustable pedals.
Relay box has no missing connectors, relays.

One guy on the internet told me it's "adjustable panel relay". But, I don't know what it means.

It's definitely made for a relay to plug directly in. If the fuse/relay box doesn't have a location set aside for adjustable pedals relay, even though no relay is there, then that could be it's purpose. Anybody with adjustable pedals could confirm this. A wiring diagram should/might show this as well.

If I had one of those I'd plug in a relay and see what happens. But then, I'm always looking for trouble.
