Hello, new here. I am currently installing Ram bed lights on my 2022 Laramie 2500. I had this truck built to take advantage of the rebates during the truck shortage. I forgot to add the bed lights when i built it. While i was running the wire to the front i found at least 5 extra wires and plugs not in use and taped to the factory harness. 1 under kick panel, 1 on each side by running boards and 2 separate above rear bumper that are just capped off. Is there a place where i can find what accessories and however many more of these there are or pre wired for.
 
Member Jimmy07 seems to be an electrical genius. I see him on a lot of threads, when it comes to adding options, and programming them. He builds harnesses when needed. See if you can find him in a thread on adding options.

It's more helpful if you tag the member you're referring to thusly:

“1 under kick panel”- Switch connector for bed mounted 115v outlet.

“1 on each side by running boards”- For the missing active tuned mass modules (parts shortage.

“2 separate above rear bumper”- One is for the trailer tire pressure monitoring receiver.
The other usual one is normally for the passive entry antenna, but you have a Laramie so you should have it already. I’d have to see it.

thank you. i do have the 115v plug in bed but havent paid attention if i have switch. the wires in back are 2 heavier red wires in a loom and i believe the other one was a thinner purple wire in its own loom but would have to check. and i do have the passive antenna. i will try to get a couple of pics when i get home

While you are here, could you check out my new post about trailer camera? You may be the person with my answer.

Purple is for third brake light for a topper. Other two red ones are for aux switch output pass-throughs or battery/ignition power, depending on how you configure the jumper connector (if equipped with aux switches).
