so this is a 2018 1500 EDiesel. I have a set of wires going to the back seats. they attached via a female clip but the clip in the back is female as well. Could this be aux wires for something like heated seats etc.
They are powered and I have no idea what they are for. Unplug them with the truck running and there is no change.
I have front heated and am looking at installing rear heated seats. Extra wires drive me nuts and I have no freakin idea what these would be for.

yes I have a defroster, but the wires go to a clip, plug in then there is nothing from the other side of the clip. I'll put a multimeter on it and turn on the defrosters. good call on that one though, that might be it.

Those are for the lighting, I used those to add 2 blue Oznium 11 mm bolt leds to the bottom of the interior B pillars ..

I ran the wire to those connectors and the lights come on when you open the doors or use the dial to turn on the lights ..

Those wires are for rear footwell lighting. My 19 Express had those so I put lights under my back seats. Those wires will only have power for a couple seconds after shutting the doors, then fade to off just like the front footwell lights.

Thanks! Id like to make them up, just curious in what connector to buy.

I will take the picture of the connectors to buy, got them from autozone, not the right size but I was able to smash them thinner like the ones you need, no issues ...

I also made the harness for @the_goodguy07 's truck as well ..
