Hey, thanks a lot. Got that much figured out now. I looked at mine and there's nothing plugged in there. I had to go work on a backhoe for my neighbor today, who I got the truck from, dug around his place and found the harness. Broken wires and burnt wires all over it though.
I've got the 3 wires figured out for the neutral switch, but what do all the other wires go to? I know 2 go to the VSS, but which ones?
There's 9 wires coming out of that plug.
Neutral Switch:
Brown/Yellow tracer
White
Purple/Black tracer
One 2-pole plug with:
Orange/Green tracer
Blue
One 2-pole plug with:
Green/Brown tracer
Black/Brown tracer
And 2 wires broken off with no plug:
Black/Blue tracer
White/Orange tracer

Thank you very much. Now, just to rebuild this harness and plug it in. My 4wd indicator doesn't work and this explains it now, just got to figure out where it plugs in. Probably start on that tomorrow.
Got the rear axle tore apart today to replace a leaking wheel cylinder. Figured I may as well replace everything else while I was in there.

Awesome. Thanks again.
Hopefully I've got enough wire here to redo the harness tomorrow since the roads are closed and I can't get to town. This snowstorm's been a good excuse to stay in the garage and get some things done I've been procrastinating on.

Well, got the harness all put together finally. Hopefully get it put in this weekend along with a new neutral switch, VSS, tranny service, all new rear brakes, door pin bushings, oil pressure sensor, trailer hitch, and change fluids in the axles and transfer case. Gonna be a long weekend, but I'll report back if everything works.
