    I was cleaning out my new Tacoma and pulled the driver's seat and found some capped wires. Does anyone know what these are for? Power seats for different markets maybe?

    I've thought about these wires under the seat also, maybe a nice fully adjustable electric Camery seat or something might fit that

    None.... yet
    I have 3 possible answers.
    1) flux capacitor interface wires
    2) super secret monitering device that can tell when we release gas in our seats
    3) once skynet goes live, the machines will use those wires to absorb tacoma drivers into the machine collective thus becoming immortal

    The plug looks factory, the wires just "capped" with glue does not look factory.
    Everything in the factory harness has a connector on the end, and it is rare that you'd see that much exposed.

    Buy the truck new? If not, maybe the PO had an amp under there.

    It is definitely factory, and I knew the previous owner. I will do some more investigating. I will report back with the color of the wires and see what a diagram says.

    Thanks! I have the heaters from Clazzio that I have to install before the damn cold weather starts flying around here. I will pull those wires from under the carpet and check them for power. Thanks again.

    Apparently this is how Toyota ties grounds together, see the photo below. This is factory wiring from the harness in the engine bay going to the headlights...they spliced a bunch of grounds together and glued them together.
