Is This A Speaker Plug?

[Isola]

While groping around under the driver's seat to check for rubbish today, I noticed this plug. Is it just a plug for factory speakers? Or is it for something else?

It has one black wire and one green wire leading to it.

Thanks

hard to see the photo, but no, its more then likely a airbag wire(normally covered in a red or yellow jacket), seat belt pre-tensioner firing wire, or a seat belt warning buzzer/light wire

do not ground the wire out , or use a test light on it. Digital Mutimeter only, it could be bad !!!!

Not sure what car you have but that would narrow it down , R33, 34 ?

Mos tlikely the seatbelt warning light... does your warning light work at all?

well sounds like I was right,,, if its a pretensioner in the reel , either way I would test it right!!!!!!

never probe with a paperclip,,,, what a tool, lucky it wasnt a airbag... kaboom $$$$$$$$$

I had a bit more common sense than that... for starters, no airbag, so that's not gonna happen, and I tried with a multimeter first to see what I was dealing with. found one side was 12V and the other WASN'T a direct ground, but also wasn't completely open, so it was obviously a switch of some sort. Even if I was about to short something out, it's all fused, so if I popped a fuse, i'd be able to see which one and that would have helped me identify it anyway.

If you had no/very little electronics experience then I would advise against playing around with that sort of thing, but if you're careful and use some common sense it's really nothing major.

Ugh... yes... info would help *idiot*

It's an R32 GTS4 - it's a small black plug with one green wire and one black wire connected to it. It's under the driver's and comes up through a hole in the carpetting.

My car doesn't have an airbag, and no, the seatbelt warning light doesn't come on. But I'm also not sure if I have one. I'll double check that on ACC and see if I have one when everything lights up.

Thanks for the input so far guys

I can safely say your question is answered, its not a speaker plug. and more then likely a seatbelt buzzer or light. push under carpet and forget you saw it..lol

cause we all wear seatbelts,,, dont we ????

and samon, I dont know who is on the other end of forums questions , a pro, complete muppet or someone in between ,,, so to be safe and Professional .... I CAUTION people about what can go wrong before they go probing or wiring things... then blame me for a meltdown because they should have know not to use a paper clip that burns there hand as it glows red hot.... when it gets 12volts and a 30+amps pulled thru it. and when they drop it it burns a hole in the seat, or carpet, or the car just burns to the ground while they watch ?????

I have seen a paper clip used before to BYPASS A BLOWN FUSE,, they do melt just like a fusable link would when they have a dead short to ground and car battery amperage or worse a shorted alternator which is pushing A/C current thru a dead short (backyard fix job by a muppet with a mullet)

also witness someone use it to extend a spark plug wire to see if it sparked on the engine block to the plug in question ..... they kinda got a big shock... 60,000 volts worth as the hi powered racing coil... zapped them from the shorted, innocent paper clip ????? instant stun gun!!!

here here on the airbag warnig ... once watchedd a guy break his arm in 3 places with a test light

2 this day If im pokn round with even a DMM I still keep my A$$ out of range of the bags

EDIT:pulled bits of 3" nails out of an old jeeps fuse bluck once( battery to bomb 101)
