One I'm pretty sure is trailer brake. Is it between brake and Ebrake?

There are tons of unused plugs in these trucks if you don't have every option. I have them under the hood, dash and front and rear seats.

The factory trailer brake has a four pin plug and a six pin plug, that plugs into the module under the dash.

Yeah those do look bigger my aftermarket plugged into a harness hanging down under the dash by the ebrake and thinking back i think it was more square.

Those are OBDII ports. The black is the factory one, red one looks aftermarket. Possibly for a gps tracker.

My truck has the red one. It was leftover from the security system that they tried so hard to upsell me on...

First off. New to the forum. Just purchased my 2011 ram 1500 slt June 2.

For the sake of not making a new thread. I shall post here. I was looking for the factory footwell connections, which I did not find and came across these plugs. Just curious and thought if they’re useful for anything I might can use them. I believe the gray/red one is trailer brakes? But not entirely sure. Thanks for any help.

The 2 that are close together are for the factory trailer brake. Last one is just a factory connector for different options.
