What is this connector used for?

Just wondering what this connector is used for. It has a red/white and green wire.

Nice pic, but what part of the vehicle are we looking at?

If I had to guess, it might be in the center console area, near the shifter?

If so, I think that is probably the harness lead for the optional cigarette lighter.

But if it is not the console area, I haven't a clue.............

Yes it is the connector in the center console. I thought the other un-used connector with the five wires was for the optional cigarette lighter? So the one with 2 wires is for the cigarette lighter? So whats the bigger one used for? Thanks

Check out this thread:

where I asked the same question (buried in page 2)

....the conclusion then was that it was for the heated seat options.

I thought it was for the cigarette lighter accessory.

Yea If what I think I am looking at is correct, then Mark86 is correct.

I've attached a photo of my center console. I took this photo from the passenger seat, so the bottom right portion of the picture is the center console, and the upper left portion is the bottom of the utility bin with single 12v power outlet.

The blue wiring harness is attached to the DAC button. The center, 2-wire white harness is attached to the 12v power outlet. The unattached 6-wire harness was what was attached to my previous ashtray insert. The 6-wire harness powers the cigarette lighter and light in the ashtray.

Not pictured in my photo is the 2 red/green wire harness orignially asked about here. Mine is taped down and tucked in the bottom of the console, as my 4Runner didn't come with seat heaters.

hope this helps.
