Power windows-can’t find the plug connecting them

I am currently trying to fix my power windows, upon digging I my plug containing 4 wires that runs from the switch do the door is unplugged. I can’t seem to find the plug on the cab side that plugs into it after hours of taking the truck apart looking. If anyone has any idea where the plug comes from before it goes into the door so I know where I’m looking that will be greatly appreciated!

Are you sure it's the original door/doors to the truck?

I am not, I think I’m just going to build myself a new harness to run and just make it the right way. The gentlemen I bought the truck from claims that the power windows didn’t work, so he cut all the wires and hardwired a toggle switch into the passenger side to control the window so the harder I look the more I realize how much is missing from the wiring portion of the doors.

any idea on how I can independently ground the passenger side window control switch without running a wire all the way to the driver side?

You will need the correct wire schematics if you are going to do it right.

It's been 8 months so I've deleted all this information from my brain, but I dropped as much data as I could in this thread. This may be a good starting point, though I'll point out that my system does NOT operate as the manufacturer intended, but it still operates!
