Ummm... based on what you are saying, it sounds like your truck didn't come with power doors. It sounds like somebody installed the solenoids, and installed a doorpanel with switches, then sold you a truck. Wiring should go to the switches, and a mechanical linkage (approx. 1/8" steel roundstock) should connect the solenoids to the locks. Let me know what you figure out.
