Default Passenger Side dash access panel

Does anyone have a picture showing the wiring or any way i can identify all the different wiring under the big oval panel on top of the Passengers side of the dash?

i want to replace the 4x4 relay up there, but i cant find it. Also, i found two plugs unconnected and dont know where they plug into. Thanks.

Note: I have the manual SOTF
I think it's a relay because when i shift into 4H or 4L, i can hear stuff actuating under the truck, but no 4x4 light pops up on the dash and i cannot hear any clicking behind the dash like i used to hear when it worked. i also checked for vacuum (Following the steps of FordTechMakuloco) and that seems to be fine. i figured i could test the relay for continuity with a multimeter at least before is started throwing parts at it.

Does anyone have suggestions as to what i should check otherwise though? Like i said, its the manual SOTF, and there is no clicking from the dash. And i think i hear stuff underneath the truck when i move the lever, and no light pops up on the dash. Also, my truck’s gauges have been taking awhile to move after starting the truck, like around 30 seconds if that would matter.
