So I have been doing some spring cleaning on the 2022 Paradigm 390MP I bought last November. I have just about got all the leaks from connections (internal water lines, water pump, and exterior water that liberally gets into the underbelly storage when it rains on the drivers side door area). When I removed the panel to clean behind and let the water dry from rain (see above), I noticed these two wires pictured below. What in the world. I don’t know if this was a factory job or from the prior owner. I am thinking the little brown wire goes to thermostat??? Any ideas what the thicker wire with no end should go to? The other end travels passed the duct work (which I also had to put back on the furnace where it had disconnected) and looks like it runs under the floor to somewhere???? I appreciate your thoughts…. Thank you….

Brown wire is TStat, I believe. Red is probably 12v ... not sure what it would go to, but there must be a corresponding connection missing a 12v wire.......

I would agree with Paul that the brown insulation is thermostat style wire and likely runs to the heater(guessing only)
As far as the heavy gauge red wire, again as Paul said this would normally be a 12 volt circuit.
For safety reasons, I would recommend testing it to determine if is is live or dead.
For the life of me, I can’t think of an electrical load back in that area that would require that large of a wire, so I am leaning in the direction that is someone’s add on circuit that is no longer in use.
I guess you could try to follow it, or at least the direction that it is going and try to locate ways to get visibility to it to help locate the other end. The mystery continues🤔
