Question Identify 9 Wires Under Mat

There is a bundle with nine wires underneath the mat in the floorboard of the son's truck.

1. GREEN = seat-belt
2. BLACK = seat-belt

3. BLUE and BROWN striped = plug hanging loose, inside LEFT-REAR cab-corner
4. BROWN w/YELLOW stripe = plug hanging loose, inside LEFT-REAR cab-corner

5. BLUE and ORANGE striped = plug hanging loose, inside RIGHT-REAR cab-corner
6. BLUE and WHITE striped = plug hanging loose, inside RIGHT-REAR cab-corner

7. BLACK w/PINK stripe = unknown destination

8. ORANGE w/PURPLE stripe = unknown destination

9. BLACK and YELLOW striped = unknown destination

What are the plugs that hang loose, unattached to anything, in each rear cab-corner, wires # 3,4,5,and 6 ??

Un-accounted for is the interior light and the cargo light.

Which of these wires { 7, 8, 9, } go to the interior, and cargo, lights??

That leaves one wire; is it for cab-lights, if the truck was so equipped??

Thanks.

So, black w/pink stripe must be interior light.

Now, I need to know what those two un-used plugs, hanging in each rear cab-corner, are for.

Thanks.
