Help Identify these connectors

Ok, so I am trying to determine if I have any connections at the back of the truck for an additional camera that I can mount in the bed. I have a 2020 XLT and only have the reverse and CHMSL cameras from factory. I am hoping one of these connectors along with some Forscan mods will do what I need, but I don't know what the connectors are for so this is where you all come in.... Thanks.


I have these 4 on the drivers side by the spare tire

This is the second from the top connector

Second from the top again. wondering what the unused pins are?

This one is right above hitch by the trailer plug. has a capped wire labeled CHMSL

This one is on Passenger side above spare tire. Not likely useful, but I am curious what it is.

Sorry I cannot help regarding the cameras, but the capped single wire with the "High Mount Stop" tag is for a adding a brake light, such as on a bed topper.

I think one or both of those get used when you install the trailer camera/TPMS harness. Lookup the trailer camera/TPMS install instructions and if so there should be photos there.

I have 5th wheel prep & trailer TPMS with camera and both of mine are used. Not sure which they are used for but I might be able to take a closer look when I get home from work tonight.

I believe that the connector in your hand in the third picture is for the trailer TPMS and camera. The others may be for the yaw sensor.

All of mine on the drivers side are used but all go to a bundle into the tailgate so not sure which would be the camera.




I also have the trailer TPMS & camera with the 12 pin connector so do you have this plug floting around back there which is used for the 12 pin?




Here are pics of the two unused plugs you were asking about.
