Mine went to a relay right in same location.
Also, of some importance... If your seatbelt slips down and touches that connector and say another close by connector... Sparks begin, leading to a discovery of something very much resembling tinder packed in under the seat springs, just begging to be lit by a spark.
I wrapped those connectors, and liquid taped a couple more. No more fireworks! And will be redoing upholstery when feasable due to fire hazard.
Your particular connections looks like an accessory wire that has been added for power to sumthin. Is there an in-line fuse down that wire? Usually that would denote alternative power source to be wired directly from battery or hot lead. |

It looks like red with black trace and red with black dash.
Attempt to trace them out if possible.
What year are you working on?

As gt mentioned please trace those wires back from the connector and tell us where they go. Do they just terminate under the rear seat or does one go through the floor pan?
