Alright, let's see what you others think and can make of things. My truck is a Limited Hybrid, so no "factory aux preinstalled" (shoulda been a stinking option).

Pulling apart the switch panel, I have plugged wires that terminate into each of the 3 spots that would have been the switches for AUX1, AUX2, AUX3
Way up under my driver side rear bumper, I see an empty plug about where the Trailhunter onboard compressor/inflator would sit.
I also see an empty plug (no cap) on the "bus" sitting at the rear bumper (not sure which would be "D").
I'm not certain if I have the "A" / "C" connector in the engine bay or not... nothing screamed out at me as an empty plug unless its actually attached somewhere.
When I open the engine bay driver side fuse panel though, the AUX row is vacant.

Is the "A" / "C" plug actually there and I'm overlooking it? Or do I have the wires running from the cab to the engine bay and just terminating somewhere?

For those that actually have the AUX wiring, how does it compare?

I'm really hoping (really for simplicity sake) that the wiring is all there in the harness and I don't need to run a new line for my grille light bar (needs <10A) and that I could capitalize on a preexisting, but undocumented, AUX2 run.

If it makes you feel any better, I have a trailhunter and that same plug is left open/empty on mine too, so I'm not sure what it's there for or its intended purpose, but it's not for the compressor.

So it might be the AUX-"D".

Do you have the AUX pre-wire? to see if you have those fuse positions in the front left fuse tray? and where/what the plug looks like for AUX-"A"/"C"?
I found another post where someone put up a picture, but unless it's just dangling there and not tucked away, I cannot tell :-(

Seems a touch odd that one end of the harness would be finished plug and the other end not (or ... if it's wrapped up as bare wires for the back of a fuse BUS in the mess under my fuse box??
