Isata 5 28SS wires

2021 Isata 5 28SS I recently purchased has some wiring I'm not familiar with. One picture shows the offending 6 wire set, both coming out of the engine compartment just forward of the house batteries. The other picture shows the same type of wires, both running through the same tie wrap in the same direction inboard of the rear corner of the generator. I have no idea what these go to and it seems that all systems and indicators on board are working correctly. Originally I thought that I would just splice them together, but then realized that they are running the same direction where they are separated. Any ideas?

If it is a Dynamax wire...there should be numbers printed on the wire identifying the circuit. If you can see that (tough I know) then we might be able to identify the circuit.\

The white covered wire does not look familiar.

I have the same year and model and no such wiring. Do you have the front Kelderman air springs? They could be the unused harness for those?

It appears the wiring running from the area in front of the house batteries and back to the generator area are the same wires, disconnected on both ends. I also found the same type wire runs from the battery compartment and heads the same way, but don't have time to trace it right now. Thanks for the replies, I'll have more time to look into it after a visit from Debby.

I took some extra time and traced the white wire from the batteries going into the floor above the leveler system.

that is the Victron battery shunt. Are you not seeing SOC on the Victron controller (I assume)

I assumed with the small fiber type wires it was some type of sensor. just confused why there are two other wires the same type running the same direction but disconnected. I’m not able to check it out again until Friday but since the one wire is connected I believe it has been working. Thanks for all the help.

All switches for the Multiplex are POE...so they would all look like sensor wires.

Most are wireless switches, but the hard switch at the entry door, touch screen, maybe a bathroom light? could be data cables

My battery minder seems to be working fine. I guess someone put in those two extra wires for something and they are not needed. I can see both ends of each wire and they are not hooked up to anything. Thanks for all the help.
