Someone left it there? Sounds like a 12v extension without seeing a pic. Commonly see them going to a multi port 12v adapter or maybe a small electric cooler.

Aftermarket something.

Look for lights, compressors, fans, etc

Maybe amps or multimedia stuff, it'd be an odd solution but might explain the on-off (socket stays live, at least in 3rd gen)

Somebody left an inverter back there ? Lucky you ....

Here is a photo of mine on 2004 Expedition XLT.
No on/off switch on mine.
Never have used it.

Very useful when camping or tailgate party. Good for plug in cooler, charging cell phone, etc.

Did you lift up the floor cover and see where it goes or what's under there ? It looks like you have to plug the cigarette lighter plug into the outlet there, and it powers something under the floor cover. Take a look. It's not something from the factory.
