On mine it's the thing that the empty cans get stuck on while rolling around under the seat! (non alcoholic cans ofcourse!)

[Ben-e-boy]

could be a bildge pump mate might come in handy hahahahaha......

[wildgu6]

Yep sure know what that's for, NOT!!!

[AB]

Ive got that too on the passenger seat. I think It's an amp for the rear speakers mate....lol

[growler2058]

Jeez mate are you molting for winter or do you have a dog???....LMAO

[zmaster]

Should be a connection for an accessory, audio amp or heated seats?

[Parra]

flick it and see.. oh wait. that didnt go so well for the last fella that followed that advice :P

from my (limited) understanding i think its the wiring for things like the fuel guage and tail lights. pretty much the rear end of the electrics. i could be completely wrong though.

i agree with tas - all my crap gets stuck on it too!

[growler2058]

Twas the chilli maaaaan sent me hair white n now its falling out!! hahshaha

[Yendor]

It looks like aftermarket wiring, possible for a CB/UHF radio.

I'm guessing that they fused both the earth and power wires.

Have you followed the twin core wire? where does it go to?

I'm guessing if you put a fuse in that holder it will blow straight away.

Going by the photo it looks like aftermarket twin core double sheathed cable

Its the watchamaacallit for the thingamajig . dont know the part number but, sorry . not sure if I spelt watchamaacallit right either !

[NissanGQ4.2]

Get back 2 you on this one, there is a thread on here posted somewhere that I posted a while back explaining what it is....

Its an original Nissan amp If I remember correctly, there is one under the drivers seat as well but is not quite the same, give me a few mins and I shall find the other post

[taslucas]

Tick ..............tock...............tick............. ...tock!

Lmao!

[growler2058]

Mmmm nuthing under me drivers seat. So what do ya rekon if i dont put the fuse and just join em hahahhahahahaha

[NissanGQ4.2]

Might of just been the TI's, maybe I have that part confused wit something else......

Pm me your Vin if you want and I will check it out with Nissan fast, unless of course you have Nissan fast....if that's the case do it yourself *L*

Congrats on the 10k btw, well done mate

[rusty_nail]

i had the same thing under the passenger seat of both my patrols, buggered if i know what it does tho, but i always loose money under it!

[Robo]

I recall something alone the lines of 2nd air con connections but don't hold me to that. will research it.

[growler2058]

Cheers under the black cover is 2 connectors which look as though it joins the front and rear looms, its just the fuse thats got me buggered 2 different coloured wires??????????

[nissannewby]

Yeah the main plugs are just for your main factory loom. If your talking about this twin core that leads to nothing id say its been in there for some aftermarket. Trace it back to its origins and remove it.

[Robo]

Had a quick look at elec schematics and think it may be for LHD model.

My gtr has a twin wire going to underside of drivers seat and there is no mention of it at all in it's manual.
later gtr model has heated seats as option.
so maybe for safari yuppy LHD market heated seat !.
who knows, time will tell.
cheers

remember now, that was for another nissan, not going to own up to it but. lets just say family car and leave it at that ok.lol

It's a Micra, isn't it?

[Robo]

[growler2058]

Yep its the junction plug for the front and rear looms

[MudRunnerTD]

Hey Growler, sorry mate just read your original post again. looking at the pic with the fuse holder and the pic you posted later with the cover off it appears that that wire does not go through the floor.

I reckon its a lazy mans way of getting a fuse into a circuit. I think you will find they ran the Twin core and used both sides as Positive for the fuse run alone. As Yendor said Definitely Aftermarket.

Before you go putting a fuse in that just trace it back to where it goes mate, You will find that one will probably go to the battery an wherever the sheath finishes the other side will split off and go to whatever it was going to power up. Maybe a floater in the engine bay!!! Should be really simple to trace though mate.

[Robo]

rethought it could be Nissan's original idea for cat converter temp sensor this is where my gtr connects up

[MudRunnerTD]

Nah it just cant be factory! the rest of the wiring in that pic is the factory Loom! if that was from the factory it would be wrapped in the loom with the rest. Definitely junk. In the second pic that was posted by Growler you can see the loose wire running along the sill above the loom! No Way its factory.

[Robo]

My bad put my glasses on, had a better look at pics.
inline fuse holder, bit strange
looks like at least 20amp wire.
maybe owner was short and wanted fuse where they could reach.

[growler2058]

Its strange as one cables red and the other black?? Oh well maybe a case of let sleeping dogs lay! Till i get the time to chase it anyways

[Robo]

I recon he mtd a compressor there

[growler2058]

I recon he mtd a compressor there

Im the 3rd owner the second owner did nothin to it and the first was a mining company so it may have been something for them

[Robo]

so where does it go?

[NissanGQ4.2]

Re-Read your thread, Sorry when I first looked at the thread I thought it was apart of the amp under the passenger seat, I know the Ti's had them but not sure on any other model

You should have 3 plugs, 2 will be mutli wired that I believe 2 goes through the floor, follows the chassis and comes back up in the rear. ( have you tried following a manuals wiring diagram! )

These go to your

Rear combination Lamp
Back door actuater
Liscense Lamp
Defogger

All on the left hand side rear door

Then the other looks like a singe wire that goes to the Rear left hand door switch ( I assume that is the switch that makes the light come on your dash 2 warn you the door is not closed.

So how many plugs do you have???

Showing under the passenger seat

15089

Showing front 2 rear

15090

Showing where it goes in the rear

15091

Two plugs and this bloody fuse thing. im gunna have to chase it back to its source

[NissanGQ4.2]

Just uploaded some pics for you, does your door light come on when the rear passenger door is open???

There should be 3 plugs

If you still haven't worked it out before the weekend I'll check under mine and see if there is a fuse

[growler2058]

Door lights were working on both doors now after Loveday NUTIN

[NissanGQ4.2]

Door lights were working on both doors now after Loveday NUTIN

*LMAO* gotta love water / mud

Was there a fuse in there and it was blown or was there no fuse to start with???

[growler2058]

NUp no fuse no sign of broken glass just those two ends

[NissanGQ4.2]

I would agree with Robo, probable a compressor

Maybe they had a cb / Uhf mounted beside the seat and picked up power from there

But still there should be a 3rd plug for your door switch

[growler2058]

UHF is up on the dash still goin strong

[Robo]

door wire is single core only so can't be that.
about 3mm diameter wire including insulation for door light cable.
and would run beside sill towards the back door, not over where pictured.
Its something the mine pulled threw for sure.
Does it have power still?
Cheers.

[Big Red]

put a test light across the two plugs, check when ignition is on, aux off ... if its live use it to connect a power outlet for radio, fridge, gps etc etc

[bordertech]

It's just a cover to protect the factory harness going through the floor.
That twin core cable and fuse holder is aftermarket. Someone put it there not Nissan

[ansaha]

Hi I am sure its for heated seats.
Cheers Andrew

[lufkin]

Could be anything really. For example
My car had a set top box for tv when I first bought it under the seat

[Smoothrun]

Got me buggered

[threedogs]

could it be an anti rust device from the mines??

[taslucas]

Bit of a thread dig there guys!

Iv'e only been a forum member since late 2014 so I find it interesting.:D
Did anyone ever find the answer?

From memory I think it might have been something to do with the brake light loom

[BigRAWesty]

Yea it's a small cover which sits one the loom where it exits the body and heads to the rear
