97 Driver Door Wiring Harness

[10secondcobra]

Hi everyone, hoping someone can jar my memory with this. We're in the middle of a rebuild, and for the life of me I can't remember/figure out where/what these 2 connectors go. They are close to the barrel connector at the driver door, everything else makes sense but these 2 two. Not sure if the pic with the part # tag helps.
Any help would be awesome!!

I'm just guessing here... Maybe the door lock and mirror?

The diagram I'm looking at, shows left door lock has two wires, a red/orange or pink/orange for one wire, and pink/black for the other.

For the mirror it shows eight wires, dark blue, red, yellow, black, and two black/pink wires. It doesn't show use of the other two contacts but numbers them up to eight.

It would help to see more of that harness, plus colors.

The large gauge wires will be for the seats, and the smaller ones for door locks, mirror, and the latch sensor, plus a light nearby.

Thanks, you guys got me pointed in the right direction The white plug has 3 wires, blue, red, yellow which is for the power mirror. The blue plug is for the keypad on the outside driver door.
Just extra confusing as this is all sitting in a Ranger now, so some of the plug end are slightly different, and of course never had a keypad lol

whoa you put the 97 explorer body harness into a ranger? Like the whole thing?
Very interesting

The blue plug reminded me of the keypad connector, but the first description sounded like those were at the doorjamb. Plus I recall now that the keyless entry pad has a long harness with a stiff straight section that would lead over to the hinge area. So I should have remembered that, but my wiring I did for that, was in 2006, I forget stuff.

The door harnesses should be easy if needed, to swap into Ranger doors. The body and dash might be kind of plug and play, Jamie would know if the three firewall hole are the same. I had a fun time installing all four 99 door harnesses into 93 doors, different key lock holes, handle holes, the keyless entry hole etc.

I forget stuff too, especially when I haven't looked at this for 8 months lol. The 3 firewall plugs are the same, no issue getting that in. Using the dash from the explorer so no issues there. Had to change the plugs for side mirrors as Ranger is 3 wires, Explorer had provision for heated mirrors so totally different plugs. Quite literally everything is explorer on this truck, except the Ranger cab so more or less makes it easy, except trying to hide all the extra wiring for back door and hatch. But we'll get there
