    Default Wiring In Seat

    While exploring my new 2014 RT Ltd, I raised the seat again and noticed that there is wiring running from a plug located under the rear left side of the seat to the seat itself. The wires are red, green, and black and appear to be 14 ga. Please tell me what these wires are for as the machine was not equipped with a heated seat afaik. Thank you for your answers.

    When I worked at a children's home in Waco, Texas, I installed a stick-on 'EJECTOR SEAT' switch on the dash of my VW Rabbit, right next to the "VERTICAL TAKE-OFF' switch. Many of the kids never figured out if that was a switch they wanted to mess with or not!

    Thank you. I was surprised by the quality of the wiring. It is a heavy gauge for a sensor and the plug is high quality and properly secured. Not all of my previous vehicles were done as well. I hope that the overall quality of the machine is consistent with my first impression.
