I looked at the wiring diagrams for an 05 & an 08 & they are exactly the same.
Both are wired through the large connector
I did a video a long time ago , you can see the inverter directly behind the large connector

Thats a cold weather package option

2 wires vt & vt-og

The AC/DC converter is an electrical device that converts AC voltage to DC voltage. Some vehicles may be equipped with a cold weather package which includes a 110 volt plug in the front of the vehicle. This plug is usually attached to a customer supplied cord and plugged into a 110 volt outlet. The 110 volts that is brought into the vehicle is directed through the AC/DC converter and converted from 110 volts AC to 12 volts DC. This 12 volts is then distributed to the vehicle engine block heater to warm the engine coolant and also to the HVTB internal heater which warms the HVTB .
