Default wiring harness behind a pillar trim

I found wire and harnesses beind both a pillars but can't find a wiring diagram for them. Any help? Additionally, what resource could I use to get a list of the available stock oem options and upgrades for the vehicle when it was for sale

Probably plugs for roof/clearance lights.

You can get a build sheep from the dealer to tell you everything that came with the truck but it won't tell you what those plugs are for.

I have them too. From what I can gather the ones under the right a-pillar trim are for the roof clearance lights. The one under the left a-pillar trim are for the dome light, high mount brake light, and bed lights. If you have the overhead console then the wiring is also from there too.

I'm actually in the process of finding the roof wiring harness that includes the overhead console wiring too so I can finish my OTIS install.

do yall know where i can find a part number for said overhead console, where i could purchase one, and what it looks like? the dealership said that they dont have resources to tell me what the upgrade options were for bells and whistles types stuff and suggested i scour the internet for sales literature from 2008 to find this info. they also said that they cant find a glovebox light in their system for my vehicle but im 99 percent sure that it is prewired for one, its just lacking the unit. im trying to install pretty much every upgrade that was an option on the vehicle and having a pretty hard time finding info.

Look at Weedahoe's signature above. He's got a link to the service and parts manuals.

Dodgeparts.com has several factory options for sale... all new and OEM. They also have the glovebox light. Been meaning to get that for myself too lol. They also have a non-optional section that has all OEM parts. Everything from switches to wiring to interior panels and the works. I frequent that site pretty often.
