Dodge ram 2500 2012 - center hump under carpet wiring?

Hi everyone. Does anyone know if wires are found underneath the carpet between the center front seat to center fold out cup holders where the center hump is located? I drilled two holes for mounting my cb radio and afterwards my air bag light comes on. So I'm wondering if spliced into a wire. Very concern... Any feedback would be great.

Not certain but I think there is a sensor in the seats now that works with the airbag system so it only deploys when an adult is seated in the seat. A child safety thing I am willing to bet

So there is indeed a good possibility that there are some wires running through that area.

Lary,

Thanks for your reply. I just got done pulling the carpet back and guess what, there is a wire lume and a 1 inch air duct that runs dead center. I spliced one wire when I was drilling a hole. I soldier the wire and heat srinked it. Air bag light is off now. Lesson learned.... I relocated my cb radio underneath the passengers glove box including the wires. FYI: if you plan to mount something on the bottom center hump, pull the carpet back and find a spot with no obstacles. There are spot where you can mount on the sides of the center hump and it's raw metal.

Happy new year!
