    Ok, I'm going to try and explain this as clear as possible.

    Got me a 2012 DC 4.6L in Grade Trim. Picked up a set of leather front seats from a 2011 Sequoia Limited. Driver seat bolted in fine and all the wires plugged in perfectly.

    BUT, the passenger side wires didn't match up. Spliced wires and tried random connections. Found a thread on here with someone who tried the same, so finally got the right wires hooked up to make the power function work (blue wire and white/black wire). None of the other wires are hooked up, so I have passenger seat belt and passenger airbag off lights on, which is fine (I'll figure out the other wires later).

    Question 1: For some reason my traction control off light is on now. Traction control doesn't work currently. How did this happen? Did I short a fuse when I messed with the passenger seat wires? If so, why would the seat fuse mess with the traction control? Read on here that trac light can also mean a code, but no code. (If I'm way off let me know)

    Question 2: My door locks are acting funky. My remote won't lock/unlock the doors. Also, once the truck is off I can't use the lock/unlock button from the car door to lock/unlock any of the other doors. My headlights also don't turn on when the truck is off. These functions will work within like 5-10secs of turning off the truck, but after that it's like the truck is dead. Interior lights do turn on tho. Tried replacing door lock fuse under instrument panel. No difference.

    A side note, I do have after market remote start with aftermarket remote.

    Question 3: The airbag light in my driver side dash is on. Does this mean all the airbags aren't working? Why did this one turn on too?

    Any input greatly appreciated!!!

    BTW, the Sequoia seats are COMFY AS HELL. Kinda ugly with the color mismatch, but I don't care. It's a TRUCK!

    Yup...wiring def was messed up.

    Was messing around some more, then my truck stopped starting (crank, no start). Finally messed around with some fuses and found 2 blown ones. Replaced and now truck starts, door locks work, trac light is off. Just airbag stuff now. I'm gonna take a breather before I mess with the seat wires again, ha.

    Do your chimes work? I removed the passenger seat to install sound deadner, and it caused the airbag dash light to come on, seat belt/passenger seat weight sensor chimes to stop working. You could simply check connections under driver and passenger seat to rule them out as reason why light is on.
