    This Black Plug is located between the driver side rear tire and the rear bumper. It is just in front of the bumper. I am wondering what the Black Plug is for ? Truck is a 2019 AC, I4, 4WD. Thank you for ANY help.

    This may be for the backup camera. if you look in your glove box there should be a harness that plugs into this if i'm not mistaken.

    LS1 swap with nitros.
    I’d guess tow package connector. The tailgate connector is on the passenger side of the truck just below/behind the tailgate hinge area.

    Thank you all for taking the time to help me. Caribe Makaira thank you for the great diagram,,,it has tons of good info on it. Does anyone know where we can buy the plastic plugs like BE1 and BE2, if we wanted to make a wiring harness ? Thank you.

    If the vehicle didn't get it at build, the likeliness of adding the feature is very low. I see maybe the parking assist could be an easy addition. But not the Blind Spot Monitor System.

    If you look closer, the connector (BE1) has 3 pins. They are for the parking sensors. If you ever remove the "radio" you might find connector C30. It's the (parking) Clearance Warning ECU Assembly connector. Also, the On/Off switch connector might be hidden too. If so, you have a chance to add OEM Parking Assist. No idea on costs.
