best I can get in the sun here, i don't want to seal this up if they should be hooked somewhere.


rear monitors are VST, and appear wired into truck, if not factory, very pro, just dont know where the ends are.

I would look at the bottom of the seats and see if there are extra wires coming out of the seat. That would give you an idea what to look for.

yes I can see where they come out of the seats, then it looks like they go to the outer edges of the body toward where factory wires would be.

Any ideas what that plug goes to? Maybe something I dont have, on my truck. i seem to have all the wires i need for stereo, just would be right time to plug those in if needed while i am in there.

thanks

My money is that it is the plug for the airbag disable switch. This switch is for regular cabs only when installing a child seat. On crew cabs, the switch is not there but the trucks are still wired for them. Should have a dummy clip for it to snap in to.

makes sense, and location is right, so you may have it.

Is this for an '01?

What color wires are they? I can look it up in the '01 EVTM on my service manual CD.
