6 wiring harnesses under manual seats?

plarkinjr · Dec 10, 2014

Driver's seat (manual) has 6 connectors: 2 yellow, 2 small grey and 2 large grey.

Passenger has 2 yellow and 1 small grey. I assume those are for the airbags.

So, what on earth are the other 3 harnesses doing under my driver's seat?

(to be clear, each of these connectors do have wires going in and out of them)

3 other wires you mean? or 3 other wiring harnesses?

only thing I can think of for a seat if its the harness on the truck (not coming out of he seat itself) would be…

Seat belt indicator
Power seat connects
Air bag indicator
heated seats
lighting

If its the seat harness that connects to the trucks harness connections and you have manual seats that could be same as above minus a few. These would be whats left.

Seat belt indicator
air bag indicator

One of them could be for the eject button...

That isn't even an option on the Tradesman package. You have to get a Big Horn/Lone Star or higher trim to get that as a choice.

I want someone to say it's for power and heated seats so I can start rigging my express to fancy status.

Far more than 3 individual wires....

There are 3 additional connector pairs....each having multiple wires on both sides of the connectors. In other words, I can disconnect them and "break" circuits. I'm wondering which circuits those might be.

Whatever they are, they do not seem to have any relationship to the passenger seat; that side has only 3 connector pairs, which also have wires in and out, and those 3 have "sisters" under the driver's seat... my assumption is that they are for airbags in both seats. The fact they are Yellow makes me think that even more (to make them stand out as airbags are safety items and risks to individuals doing work on the vehicle).

Would be nice. Just add the seat elements, control module, center switch panel and see if it works as easy as the steering wheel volume controls! If not, it doesnt sound hard at all to add options via StarScan at the dealer. My buddy was showing me and there was tons of stuff that could be flashed in. I never looked for the heated seats option. May try calling him and ask.

But we all know it's never that simple.
