Default wiring

Hi all I bought a '24 f150 from a auction that was damaged in the front some of you that have replyed to my past questions thanks, so I have another one. The front wiring harnes was missing so I ordered a new one now that I have the truck nearly finished I have one plug at each end of that harness that don't connect to anything, this harness connects to a large plug on the right frame horn, it goes both right and left connecting my fog lights, lower louver motors, park assit sensors and cruise radar unit. So these plugs are about 2-3 inches long extending from each fog lite plug. The wiring picture from ford don't show what these hook up to so I'm wondering if anyone knows it would be appreciated. The wiring for the side radar units comes from the upper harness and they are connected. If these are for something on a lariat or platnum that I don't have on my xlt would'nt Ford put a cover on the ends of the plugs to keep the road grime out? I replaced the air bags and clock spring as well as the module under the console, after leaving the battery unhooked while I hooked up the airbags and module for about 2 hrs then After hooking the battery back up the airbag light on the dash flashes very fast instead of being on solid as it was when the bags were not hooked up. Also my cruise dont work. I'm thinking Ford needs to reflash or do something but I want to make sure everything is hooked up before I go in.TIA

Where do the plugs reach to? That might give you an idea of what those mystery plugs go to. EG Adaptive cruise systems.

Thats the first thing I checked however there was nothing on the front end as the bodyshop that took the truck apart to see what was needed, i'm guessing, then the rental company that owned it took over a year to decide they did't want to fix it. In the meantime the body shop either lost or sold all the parts they removed. Then they decided to take it to the auction where I bought it. I asked if all the old parts were in the truck and it was confirmed but when I picked it up there was only the left fog light and a couple cups of bolts ABSOLUTELY nothing else, thats another story,so you can see that i'm buying parts and fitting as I go along. I found out last week the truck came with a lower louver behind the bumper so that solves the two center plugs that had nothing connected to them so the only ones left now is the very outside of the bumper on each side, I have the fog lights connected and the two plugs have about two to three inch of slack so they have to connect to something close to each fog light but I can't find anything that's missing at Ford parts so I was hoping maybe someone here might know what I'm missing.

Nope but thanks, I had 4 plugs with nothing to hook to but I found those two last week when I found out my truck came with the lower air dam louvers as well as the large one in front of the rad that connects to the upper wiring that runs along the top of the rad, the ones I'm looking to connect to something are close to the fog lights at each end of the bumper there is only a 2-3 inch pig tail. These are the only plugs that are not connected to something. On this wiring loom there are 11 plugs, 2 lower air dam,4 park assist, 1 cruise radar, 2 fog lights, 2 going nowhere? Could led fog lights have two connections for each fog light? Ford says my truck comes with heligen fog lights which is what the one was I got with the truck.
