Most likely the sensor wire for the seat belt warning light. It makes the light go out when you put on your seat belt.

They might have forgotten to unplug it and yanked it loose when removing the seat.

hmmmmm, ill check on that, the only thing that struck me as strange is that its comming out dead center from the floor beneath the seat. If its not tripping that light I may try using it to power my satellite radio instead of using the cig adapter

That's normal. If you plug your seat belt in, it goes out instantly.

May have been cut by a previous owner or something, too.
