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?
