Default front passenger door wire cut?

So i looked at my door gap, after looking at it I spotted this... I'm sure this isn't normal but everything seems to be working fine.... I think my memory seating doesn't necessarily work....

Can that be that someone ran side mirror turning signals and then replaced with non turning signal side mirrors? What year? do you have side view mirror turning signals?

2007 gs 350 no side turning signals, bought this car when it was new. thats so strange tho and it looks kind of ugly, everything works for the mirror and on the driver side door.

I would investigate it further. Weird are not supposed to be cut! If you had the car since new I'm guessing that has to have happened sometime recently. I would have noticed that every time I got in and out if the car since it looks so obvious.

It is very weird... its a 2007 AWD GS350 was wondering if anybody with same car can chime in and see if it's suppose to be like that... I dont have any problems tho everything works fine windows, memory seating, side mirror functions, (titling, closing), the lighting, floor lighting, etc. Maybe GS350lexus was right that someone tried to install side turn signals (I'm guessin the factory)

I have the 2007 and I have no wire running through my car like that. Remove the door panel and inspect further see where it leads to. I would not leave it alone, who knows what it is connected to. Also being exposed to water cannot be safe.

Is there a DIY? I'm not too great at disassembling things...

Default Update

Show I decide to take off my front door panel (first time! got kind of nervous because of things could go wrong) So here we go...




starting from here my wire was cut or broken, you can see it going through the outter rubber sealing of the door...





The wire is orange,green, and white i followed it through





here we are, as it ends up merging with these other wires





as u can see it all joins and connects to that plug... Now i'm not sure exactly where this plug leads but it's in front of the memory seating..

In the end everything still worked perfectly fine as it was... I'm not entirely sure what it is either... maybe some insight?

I believe it has something to do with an immobilizer that was installed at one point. There is a company called Xpresskit that makes them and they use those two colored wires to run to the locks for the door.
