Question strange plug-ins underdash

ok i have a '97 F250LD that I bought used back in '06. The guy use to be a chief fighterfighter and had all the bells and whistles on the truck but took them off. I've been trying to figure out why my cruise control dont work even after the recall and I found 2 strange plug-ins under the dash that had nothing hooked up to them. They look factory but you never know. I dont have my manual, cant find it but here are some pics of the 2 plugs. They both have bullet style plugs, but dont go together so they must go to something. Maybe an brake controller? Not too sure but here is the pics and a pic of my truck, after I put a painted bumper on instead of the chrome. thanks!

Put the pics on photobucket and link to them. If it is a single wire bullet connector it definitely isn't stock.

The six wire connector with five wires is the brake controller connector. wire colors should be
  1. White
  2. Dark Blue
  3. Brown
  4. Light Green
  5. No connection
  6. Red
The three wire connector is likely something added for the truck's previous duty. Good luck!
