    20250201_130759.jpg I took my seat covers off on my 2015 Tacoma and washed them. As I was putting the drivers side on, I had to fish the strap down between the seat and the outer plastic trim,on the bottom. As I tried to get the buckle through, the lumbar adjustment knob came off and this clip shot from under the seat. Does anyone know where it goes? Weird thing is that now, when I start the truck, the seat belt chime rings 5 times. It used to come on after maybe a minute or so.

    It doesn’t look like that to me. It’s yellow and the “teeth” are on the outside.
    The fuse puller is white and the teeth are on the inside to grab the fuse.

    I’m pretty sure this is a panel clip. They sometimes stay on and sometimes drop off when removing plastic panels. Check the last panel you removed, perhaps that center console cover. You will see them on the backside of the panels allowing them to “snap” into position.

    I also second guessed and thought fuse pulller at first.

    It must have just been under my seat. I took the center console apart to check my shift cable about 2 years ago.
    Gonna try to see if I pulled something loose on the seatbelt connections, when I put the seatcovers back on. Maybe that's why the chime is coming on, as soon as I start it.

    Although they are present behind side lower plastic seat panels, they have nothing to do with your seatbelt chime. You most likely lost one off the side panel of the seat, very common. Check the wiring connector for the seatbelt fastener to make sure it was reconnected.

    This. It probably came from the plastic cover that trims the bottom edge of the seat that you popped off accidently.
