2015 RAM 1500 Quad Cab
Looking for mounts for a car seat I saw this connector under my rear bench seat ! 1 on the passenger side and one on the drivers side. Yellow and black wire.. I know there have been threads on this but for the life of me do not know where to look :O FYI I am a Crusty Old Fart so give me a break for being a ******** lol sorry for crappy pic, it was from my phone and over cast outside


Thanks

WOW that was fast So you think it is for a Subwoofer ? I was thinking connection for under seat lighting? Heated seats?

Hahaa, just happened to finish dinner and logged on.

The OEM kicker subwoofer goes under neath the rear bench on the drivers side. Also finding that the OEM Alpine subwoofer goes on under the rear bench passenger side. Perhaps wired for both?

*Looking through some old post it does look like it’s for underneath lighting*

I ll look up under seat lighting and see if thats it,, Had a brain fart and did not think of searching under seat lights lol Hey Im old lol

Very similar to what I recently saw in mine. Connector mounted to seat bracket on each side but nothing plugged into either.

It is definitely for under seat lighting, I used it to add footwell lighting. I will try to find my post and add the link.

It is actually a very inexpensive mod, I purchased the connectors on ebay and the lights from superbrightleds.com. I think my total was less than $30

Look at post 1049 in my link, it shows both part numbers for the lights and connectors.

Damnnnnnnnnnn I am blind as a bat lol Missed that :O Hey I'm a Old fart so that's my excuse lol Thanks again.. I can not see spending around 40$ a light for OEM..
I assume just plug and play ?
In the OEM parts list is shows a harness as well. :O
I assume the connectors are all set up for the door switch ? I know a dumb ? It is raining again so I can not check w/my meter , I do not have a garage ! Thanks again

The factory connector has power when you open the door. The after market lights will not fit the seat cushion, the reason for me to mount them in the footwell. For me it was a no brainer to put them there as it was the easiest solution and I feel a better solution. The factory lights in the seat bottom cushion serve no purpose with the cushion folded up, the light would just shine on the front seat backrest. The way I installed them you will have constant light even with the seat bottom in the up position.

I was looking at the mounting and like you said the bottom of the seat is not the best ! I did notice a hole in the seat beacket that would be perfect place to boly the aftermarket light too. I assume the same place as you mounted your lights ! Again Thank You for your help and link to the parts! A BIG help.

Anytime, post your results when finished.

Makes me wish my truck has power to the connectors.

 

[14 Lonestar]

Do you have the connectors, if so there should be power when you open any of the doors.

I have the connectors but there is no wiring to them.

 

[14 Lonestar]

That sucks, you could locate the rear door dome light switch(if there is one) and run power from there to the connectors.
