Mystery wire

[Hiram]

Ok while cleaning up some rust in the M1009 floorboard, I cut a wire, its black with a white stripe, runs from under the fusebox area along the door sill and then under the driver seat and dissapears under the seat mount. It HAD a black plastic connector about 6" from the seat bolt.

Any idea where it goes? I went undeneath and dont see anything in that area.

Thanks

Seat belt warning buzzer sensor wire for the drivers seat would be my guess.

Is there such a device on a 1009?

And thanks

Yes, there is, or was... the buzzer is above the fuse box as I recall. There should also be a "Fasten Seatbelt" light that comes on when you start the truck.

all the above is correct

That is what it is. I too was pondering the purpose of that wire when I removed the flooring to also check for rust, but found out what it was when looking through a wiring schematic.

Mine broke along time ago never fixed it and I have no issues besides the buzzer not working lol. I am fastidious about wearing my seat belt so it is no big deal to me.
