This is the cable for heated seats and you should have two. One under the driver's seat and the other under the passanger's seat. Each one should be connected to the seat itself by a socket. Try to look under your seat for a dangling wire (you should find it coming out of the seat). This is supposed to be connected with the one in the picture.
