I swapped a 1993 cab onto my 84 frame. Installed 96 obdii harness. I can’t figure out what this plug goes to in the passenger side kick panel...

 

I think I’ve identified it as the ESOF plug. Would be why I couldn’t figure it out. My cab is a 93 f250 with manual shift transfer case. The harness came off eBay from a 1996 f150 that would have been ESOF

im plobbing in a manual transfer case from a 97 f250 so I don’t think I need anything at that plug

 

Those don't look like ESOF colors to me. I see Pu/Or, Wh/Or, DB/Wh, & Pu/Wh

Did you have any ideas? There was one truck at my local yard that was crushed and stacked but from what I can tell that plug had some wires that ran down the passenger side sill and them went throught the cab back by the seatbelt retractor. Id just assumed it went to the transfer case. I can't get better access to that truck to really look because of how it was stacked and crushed. I did add power doors so its not that since I have all of those plugged in. maybe i should try seeing if any of those wires have continuity up to the plug that would be the ESOF bottons? I just figured since i don't have a ESOF module that they wouldn't be connected.

 

No, the buttons don't go to any of those connectors; they go to the ESOF module. And the ESOF harness doesn't go through the cab near a shoulder belt reel - it goes through the floor near the driver's buckle, directly above the motor on the t-case. The ideas are in the 2nd link above - click it, read the caption, and compare your wires' colors to those in the chart.

 

dark blue with white is the only color I have on that chart and it says maybe an abs wire? I’ll have to do some digging later. I own a 96 bronco that I popped the panel off of and I’ll have to look in the back but maybe it’s the rear speakers and such??? It has way more wires in it and the harness definetally hits what I believe to be the ESOF module.





so something is shared in that connector between a bronco and fseries. But the bronco us more of whatever it is

 

Got it. It’s the rear airbag sensor. I found a donor with the wire harness and the sensor with bracket. Forgot my truck wasn’t an airbag cab and now the Dash and column are airbagged

 

Your first pic (in your original post) has no ESOF module. In your last pic, ESOF is the module with the red LED at the top Left of the photo.

 

correct. First pic is the truck I’m currently rebuilding. Second pic is my 96 bronco that’s complete. I have a 96 bronco, 74 bronco, 84 f150, 97 f250hd and a 97 f350. lol. and a 5.0 swapped sport Trac

the 84 f150 has a 93 cab that I just wired as a 96 so it’s obdii with a 2001 explorer 302.
