I've got a black wire and a brown wire coming from under the carpet just behind the driver seat that go to a grey connector, with two black wires coming out of the mating side of the connector. Those two black wires have been cut/ripped out of where ever they go. Any thoughts on what they go to?

My guess; electric seat adjustment or maybe lumbar support pump.

Could be the seat belt warning...

The seat adjustments or lumbar support may be pre-wired regardless of their inclusion as options...it just saves time and money to install that stuff at the factory sometimes...I've got a similar connector and the options on the seats...I just never bothered to plug in the seats.

Correction, the brown wire is actually brown/lt blu. And it's not just going to a dead connector like it was a prewired option. There's a connector plugged into it with two black wires going out of it, but they're cut about a foot from the connector and I can't find what they went to.

Is the wiring for your seatbelt warning there and intact? It sounds like the seatbelt minder.

Black and light blue are for the dome lights The brown may be worn out black.

Did the '89 have the seat belt reminder? There's nothing going to the drivers side belt clip. The plastic shroud that was on it was half broke so I just ripped if off and didn't see anything on the belt clip that looked like those wires would have gone to it. And I don't think it's dome light, as my dome light is working.
