What in the world is this thing

I am stumped by this one thing we have on our 1996 National Dolphin.

The cabinet above the passenger has always had this white cord which is plugged in. I never could figure out what it was for or where it went until recently doing some remodeling.

Which only added more questions, because this cord runs to an Omron 120VAC to 12VDC relay under the dashboard. From there I cannot quite tell where the DC wires go to... possibly the cig lighter, possibly something else...

Does anyone know what this thing is for? I've searched high and low and cannot find anything on this.

    Very interesting, tyvm, the television would have indeed been plugged into that same outlet.

    We've since moved the location of the television.

    So how exactly does that work though? Because that outlet seems to always have power, unless I'm mistaken...

    Also, that switch there, no idea what it does.

    I'll throw out a wild guess and say it could be the ignition relay to the TV ... with ignition on the relay disconnects power to the Television source of power. Was the television ever plugged into the outlet?
