Default 1999 Ram 2500 Airbag Wiring

I am replacing my cracked dash (while replacing the heater core) & while disconnecting the Passenger Airbag the wires cam out of the plug housing. Can someone help with the correct wiring at the Airbag?

Download your FSM for the year of your truck from the FAQ section. Wiring diagrams are in 8W. Next time please include the year of your truck also.

Sorry my bad, I am working on my 1999 Ram 2500 5.9 Cummins (just changed it).
I saved that manual before posting the question. It doesn't show the wire colors at the Plug C2 coming out of the Air Bag Disarm Switch unless I am missing something. The wires colors going into the Plug change color from the ones going into the Airbag, Green/Yellow & Black/Yellow on one side to Green & White on the other side.
thanks in advance

Yes those wires are the ones coming out of the Airbag Disarm Switch & the ones that came out of the Plug (someone else had been in here before). The Green & White wires come out of the other side Connector & go to the Airbag.
The wiring diagram is a bit sketchy!

Did someone splice different wires into that harness???

You are asking about the wires from the switch, to the airbag, right?

No wires spliced. The wires coming from the Switch to the connector are Black/Yellow & Green/Yellow (only 2). The wires coming out of the connector & going to the Airbag are Green & White (only 2). The wiring diagram does not show this color change. Just hoping for someone with experience that can help & clarify without me heading to wrecking yards!
