I'm redoing brake lines and they are all removed. There are three ports, one for each front wheel and one for the rear wheels. The module sits sideways and one port is closest to the fender, one in the middle and one closest to the engine.

I have a couple of 96-97 explorers back at the shop
I will be there later today and will have a look for you
I cannot find the info needed online
The 98+ trucks they rotated the pump to sit differently
So I’ll get some pics of the 96-97 setup and see what port feeds which brake
 












Found this... "RABS replaced the proportioning valve and load valve in most trucks in the early 90s. If yours has the ATO three channel system, then the one for the right front is labeled VR on the pump just above where the line threads in. Left front is labeled VL, and the rear is HA. All three lines split off just inboard the left side shock tower, the one to the left loops to the rear a bit before going forward to cross under the engine, while the rear one drops down to run along the frame with the fuel lines." ...at 97 Explorer Brake line diagram - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
 






I had a chance to look at a 96 yesterday
Pretty straight forward
The line closest to the engine is for the rear axle

the middle line is passenger front caliper

The line closest to drivers fender is drivers front caliper

Thank you! Plumbing this tomorrow with stainless lines from inline tubing.
