Default what are the wires under the front seats for?

Under the drivers seat there are two sets of wires, one attached to the track and the other runs up the back, and under the passanger seat there is one set running up the back, any ideas what they are for?

Seat Belt Switch. Occupancy Sensor for the passenger side airbag.

There are also seat position sensors, as well (I believe) which tell the jeep how fast to deploy the airbags, based on your seat's position on the track.


I also think the passenger side seat has some sort of gyro underneath. Don't quote me on that though...

Some models also have side airbags mounted in the side bolsters of the seat backs.

Thanks so much, all of those make sense. I forgot that I've got the side air bags.
