Yep, no factory wiring for brake controllers on the Gen1/2 as far
as I know, so I believe you are correct about that. I have factory
fog lights on my '96, so the grey connector that you showed in your
pic is connected in my truck. I've got an extra, unused black connector, but
that one is for the factory off road lights, which I do not have on my
truck, plus the connector is different. I dug under my dash but did
not find any connector like the one you pictured. (Then again, '96
was the first year for OBD2, so that may have something to do with why
I don't have that connector, whatever it is.) I did actually find a
connector that looks like the one you pictured in the FSM, but
unfortunately it is not labeled as to its function. I have found that
what this usually means it is not a connector that would plug directly
into a sensor or switch, etc. but rather simply connects to another
wiring harness (such is also the case with the grey connector). So,
even if it is the correct connector, some searching through the FSM
would have to be done to try and find the labeled circuits and wire
colors to figure out exactly what it is supposed to connect to.
