electric

I would like some help in identifying a couple of electric plugs on my 97 psd.They are just below the ashtray on the bottom of the dash,one points to the left the other to the right,and they are not plugged into anything.they are also just to the left of the data port.Does anyone know what these are for?Thanks and Merry Christmas to everyone!!Pike

The one marked data port is for the OBDII connection. The one port is it kinda round? Sounds like where the AIC plugs in, I belive it points left...don't remeber

Correct the one on the left that points twards the drivers side is for the electric trailer brakes. I dunno what the other ones is for. AIC (Auxilary Idle Control) maybe?

One could be for the buzzer, does a buzzer sound off with door open and key in ignition if not someone did you a favor by removing it.
