Mystery Wire #5422613

[oneohtwo 8]

Whilst taking the carpets out to put new sound deadening down I came across this little white wire that was tucked under the sill trim on the drivers side:

It runs to a small box under the right hand passenger seat, but other end is unconnected. Anyone any idea what it is or what it should be connected to?

Hmm interesting. What is the box under the seat?
It looks aftermarket as it isn't part of the normal wiring looms...

Do you have a pic of the box under the seat, any labels/part numbers on it?

Not right now, but need to get the carpet out again to dry it out (leaking door membrane), so will have a look and take some pictures.

Could it be a hidden kill switch/ immobiliser that is now redundant.

I wonder if they were picking up a connection for something else from off of the seat electrics, assuming it has some......

Be interesting when you get to the other end

I don't know to be honest, but does sound like whatever it is it's aftermarket. I should have the seat off today to get a picture which might give us more of a clue.

Any joy sorting this?

Sorry, I completely forgot to follow up on this, what with one thing and another. I didn't get the seats out in the end, but did find this picture I took the first time around:

This is the mystery box. It is on the drivers side, under the front beam for the rear bench seat. There is something a bit aftermarket looking about it. The brown wire went off to the passenger side, but I didn't manage to trace it.

Immobiliser maybe..... do the wires go off to the fuel pump?

[oneohtwo 8]

Oh, interesting thought. I should have followed where all the other wires went, but the brown one did head off to the passenger side then up towards the boot. Not sure where they go from there as they definitely aren't under the boot carpet. Might need to do a bit more investigation, but at least I know it's not something OE.

Definitely not OE. Redundant tracker ? It’s not ticking is it 😳
