Just a heads up. All the big yellow plugs are the air bag controls and connections to the module which is under the drivers seat, the 2 air bags and the sensors. Do not mess with them unless you disconnect the battery. I am sure schurkey has a link to a wiring diagram.

They appear dusty, as in "hasnt been plugged into something in a long time".
It's likely a universal harness that contains pigtails for items you dont have.

Such as connectors for power locks or power windows, but yours has manual door guts.

Or a factory aux tape deck (88-94), but yours was not ordered with one.

In other words, leave them alone, they're not necessary.

I’m swapping in power windows and locks. The is in the truck and the white connector is from donor truck being installed. The wires are a different color on each plug and I need to know which colors need to be connected? Any help will be appreciated.

I have that blue plug in two 98 K1500s but with less pins. It won’t help you much, but in one it is not connected to anything. In the other, it is connected.

The difference with the truck that has it connected is that it has keyless entry, power driver seat, push button 4x4 and auto-dimming rear view mirror.

The truck that does not have it connected does have power locks/windows.

Best guess is that it’s associated with one or more of those options.

Ok so what does the white connector go to?

Sorry, I don’t remember my 98 having that white connector. @AK49BWL might know.

If your white plug harness is from a 97, you can get the wiring diagrams and connector pinouts from alldatadiy.com (subscription site).

What model year did you get the parts from? Need that years wire diagram. What year model are you installing into. Your really asking a lot here" what's this plug?" Get the service manuals, there free here. The wire digrams, and illustrations of electric connectors used. Be easier and faster. You wouldn't get " well mine was not that because..."
The straight info no guessing, no maybes.
