I need help finding the locations of these 2 connectors in my truck. I stole wires from the donor harness and need to find these connectors in the IP of my 2022 BH. One connector is a black, 12 pin female. The wire I need to pin into this connector is OR/DB; LIN BUS CBC 3. The other one is a black 5 pin female. The wire for it is GR/BR; Sensor/Switch Return. Struggling to find these two in my IP. Thanks, Brent

"...in the IP of my 2022 BH."
What is IP and what is BH?
If you took them from your door harness, wouldn't they go back into the door?
All OEM wire harnesses have a part number tag on them. Take the number to a parts guy and have him search for its location.

BH is for Big Horn for sure, and I think IP is for Instrument Panel. As far as identifying these connectors, the person here one that comes to mind is @Jimmy07. Maybe he can help.

IP=Instrument Panel (Dashboard)
BH= Big Horn
The connectors are in a DONOR harness.
I can't find any diagrams showing connector location (like used to exist in RamBodyBuilder). I need to find the actual location of these 2 connectors in my truck. I need to pin wires from the DONOR harness into these connectors in my truck.
Attached pic shows location of these 2 connectors in the donor harness; and for reference the 20 pin connector that is behind the headlight switch in my truck, the cluster connector, and the driver's side courtesy light. Seems it should be easy to find these 2 connectors in my truck--but so far, I can't.

Here's a closeup of the 2 connectors I can't find in my truck

The 12 pin is steering column control module C2 connector. It’s plugged into the back of the clockspring on the steering wheel.
The 5 pin is the adjustable pedals switch connector for memory seat equipped trucks. If you have adjustable pedals, but no memory seats, the connector is different than the one you have pictured.
 
Just guess on the Black 5 pin

SWITCH-ADJUSTABLE PEDALS MEMORY

Pin Information
Cav Circuit Gauge Color Function
1 Z912 0.35 BK GROUND
2 E12 0.35 OG/GY PANEL LAMPS DRIVER
3 Q102 0.35 OG/BU ADJUSTABLE PEDALS SWITCH FORWARD
4 Q103 0.35 OG/GN ADJUSTABLE PEDALS SWITCH REARWARD
5 P28 0.35 GN/BN SENSOR/SWITCH RETURN

-- the other possibly E-Brake switch .... should be in that area of your vehicle. What trim level was the donor harness from, that connector may go to an option that yours never had...

still poking around--
*** edit --- Jimmy07 beat me to it, But with the Correct answer... wealth of knowledge ;)

Thank you so much. I see now why I couldn't find the clock spring connector! My truck has adjustable pedals; but not memory seat. The donor seats are memory and the memory module is present under the donor driver's seat. Although I don't plan to install the memory function in my truck (need to add switch in door; and I'm not interested in having the function); I decided I may as well run the (about 6) wires required for memory while I have my truck torn apart. I guess I'll just run the GR/BR to the vicinity of the adjustable pedals and tape it off.

Can you identify these two? A black 59 pin female and a gray 30 pin female on the cabin (maybe called interior) harness. They plug in in the Driver's A pillar area. I have searched through all the POWER DISTRIBUTION and CONTROL connectors and can't find them. Thanks, Brent

And this one. It's another black 59 pin female on the Driver's side of the IP harness. Same branch as Assembly-Power Distribution Center-Interior C2 and C3. I have searched through all the POWER DISTRIBUTION and CONTROL connectors and can't find them. Thanks, Brent

@brental1 --- not sure if you are taking advantage of any online resources but start here ---
with all the rewiring you seem to be doing, this site should come in handy for any of your present and future mods ...

Thanks, I've spent hours on that site trying to identify these last 3 connectors. I've looked at all the POWER DISTRIBUTION and CONTROL connectors (where these are physically located) and they are not in that section. Then, I searched by GENDER and NUMBER OF PINS. I can find a drawing of the 59 pin connector; but not the pinouts. Then I started searching through the hundreds of XY connectors. Gave up after a while. Is there some search method I'm missing? Is there a map of the truck somewhere that shows connector description and location? Access to a site I can buy?

Just looking at your pics--- again just a guess but see XY331A and XY310A
There are paid/subscription sites, ex. AllData... but as far for cost ??? Get friendly with a local shop and you might get lucky with needed info..

Thank you so much. I've confirmed that the two on the cabin harness are XY 310A and XY331A. Now that you've directed be to the 300 section; I'll see if I can identify the other female 59 pin that is on the IP harness.
 
And this one. It's another black 59 pin female on the Driver's side of the IP harness. Same branch as Assembly-Power Distribution Center-Interior C2 and C3. I have searched through all the POWER DISTRIBUTION and CONTROL connectors and can't find them. Thanks, Brent
I've searched through all the XY300s and still didn't find this one. It's pinned very similar to the XY331A--actually so close that I had to look quite while to see the differences.
