Default What is this for?
I know one is the lighter and one is the Parking Assist. The harness plugs into the trim but goes to nothing for a third item.

On your truck the left one is the cigarette lighter, the one on the right shuts off the back up alarm sound.

Looks like that is it. So next question. Would simply connecting the proper switch to the harness activate this? What fuse is this feature on?

Traction control requires a lot more hardware than just adding the button to the dash. Most likely the wiring harness is there though.

I am trying to find this circuit in the wiring diagrams. If I knew the fuse then it would narrow it down.

There will be several systems involved probably. I doubt its as simple as adding the TCS button as stated above.
