the wires are purple with stripes of black and green, they have like a plug at the end with 2 prongs in the plug. it looks like you can plug something in to it, thats what i want to no if its a live wire , then maybe i can use to hook up and amp to it. i am just trying to find and easy way of hooking up my amp, thanks

Do you have a volt meter to check for current. I'd check it with the key off and key on to see if you have any power. Then you just need to figure out what it's for in case you blow a fuse. Don't forget to check and make sure the wire is a thick enough gauge to handle the amperage you are going to be pulling.

Could it be for the factory power sliding window option?
