What is the connector under the seat for? Is it the seat belt tension reducer?

I found out today as I was cleaning that the wire snapped from the connector, how do I splice it back?

Thanks

It's probably for the seat belt latch, tells the car the belt is in use or not. Anyhow the best way to fix it would be to solder it back in. If there isn't wire sticking out from the clip to easily solder to, you can try using solder paste in attempts of getting it back to together more easily. Worst case scenario you'll just have to use some other clips or directly wire it.

It broke off where the connector is. I disassembled the connector and I messed up the terminals where the wires are crimped. Does anyone know where I can get replacements for those metal pieces in the picture?

+1 on the seat belt warning. I took my seat out today and forgot about the cable.... felt the tug just soon enough before I ripped it out of the car though tongue.gif

With something that small it might be eaiest just to pay a couple of bucks for a new connector from Toyota? Or as Box said, you can just cut both plugs off and solder on a new plug pair smile.gif
