Sounds like the emergency trunk release.

You know, in the event you get slammed into Yo trunk, there's a glow in the dark help me release handle.

It sounds more like the trunk lamp trigger that should be located on the truck latch .

If its not connected to anything, and you're sure its from the factory that way, it could be for the third brake light. the regular lancer has that tri-post wing with a brake light in the center post. that may be for it.
If you want to go with my theory, put a 12v test light to it, and see if it lights when you either turn on your driving lights or hit the brake.

You pull that white handle when you're being kidnapped and tossed in your own trunk.

Also I just realized my Evo doesn't have this. I bought it used. Maybe someone was kidnapped in it?
