'97 E250 trailer wiring location

I've got a '97 E250 with what appears to be the factory tow package- it has all the fuses and relays under the hood, and I've got a plug by the e-brake that connects to my brake controller (which gets power at this point)

I've been given a part number from Ford (xc2z13a576ba) for the factory harness. They say it should plug into a existing pair of connectors under the body someplace.

From what I understand, someplace on the van there is a connector or pair of connectors that has the 7 signals for my trailer plug. But where is it? I put the van on a lift today, and I didn't see anything jump out at me from below.

It is a extended cargo van if that makes a difference. I did a search, and all I got was results looking for the other end of the plug, the one the brake controller plugs into...

Also check post the question in the "Towing, Trailers, and Fifth Wheels" section. I know I've heard this come up, I don't remember the specifics.
