I'm not 100% but I think it is where the cruise control buttons were located on models that were equipped. That's my best guess.

No, the cruise control buttons are on the lever behind the steering wheel. That is the place where the digital clock goes when equipped.

the clock... mine didnt have one but got it from my 85 limited wagoneer... wires were different and mine didnt have power so i just hard wired it into the radio...

the clock takes up the whole back side of this thing... in fact the plugs down at the bottom...

yes its for the clock but the bottom portion was for a alarm and panic button these were fitted as a option hope this helps

without the clock, it serves as a great location to place your switches for lights, air compressor, or any other confangled electrical device you want to turn on or off.

x2 I put my transmission temp gauge there.
oh wait I replace the cig lighter with the gauge.

They put that there so when you add stuf to your jeep you would have a good spot to mount the switches.
That area is pretty shallow, the black plastic behind it is the ducting for the HVAC.
I found this out when i installed my interior winch controls.
