    Had to remove literally everything inside cab to replace the evaporator and more. Unfortunately, a few wiring connectors were left unlabeled and now I have one specific connector that I don't know if it actually should be plugged into something or not. Can any one help? It is the only one I need help. It has been a long and grueling project, but cost effective.
    Appreciate your input. Thanks!

    first - any chance it plugs into the near white end of wire connector to the left? - prob you already checked that.

    Post the number of connections in that connection along with the number f wires used and their colors. may be able to trace it to a wiring diagram. ALso where does the other end run to - fuse box?

    The "other white connector" doesn't belong with tis one in question. There are 4 connectors (the other white one, 2 black and 1 blue) that attach to bottom instrument panel that houses mirrors, anti skid, DAC, and RSCA. The one I need help contains individual wires- 3 red, 2 white, 2 black and a yellowish pea green color. They are all wrapped in black soft plastic and are an offshoot from the above mentioned 4 connectors. It runs along side the wiring that attaches to the fog lights, rear diff lock, and Voltage/wattage button. All 3 of these are directly beneath air duct.

    Are you sure they go to anything? Often the harnesses have the connectors for options your truck does not have. Example: Heated seats.

    I am hoping it is there for a future usage or for something like heated seats, etc. I honestly do not remember if it went to something, hence my post. :help: As with the radio, not every hole gets a plugged connector. I do have 2 I think left hanging, but I remembered that. I guess I'll give it some time and see more responses, I am so appreciative of all your comments thus far!!:thumbsup:

    Thanks! It was 2 1/2 days to tear everything out. Sometime into it, the need to light a match was lingering, so motivational taping was required.

    Yes, everything worked before being removed. About to put console and steering wheel back on, so time will tell.

    I think you are missing why I'm asking for connector info. Check the link I posts and scroll down a few pages when the link opens. The schematics show connectors with total pinouts. So If it's a six pin white connector with 3 wires , red, black and blue, you might be able to locate the harness connector in the schematics and then the wire names will tell you what it is for ...

    So, I looked through the wiring diagram book previously linked above...I didn't see anything close; not to say it isn't there, just saying Interior Design is my field of expertise, not wiring harness, lol. Ugh, think I will just move on and see what happens once its all back together and ready to start it.
