Default Something Missing?

I have a 2000 Coupe with the "Active Handling" option. As I understand it, there is a LATERAL ACCELEROMETER sensor located under the front left of the Passenger seat. So I had the seat out today installing my new Lumbar Bladders and Controls that I got from Fred Beans Chevy, and I decided to pull up the carpet to get a peek at it. As you can see in the picture below, all that's there is a big blob of grey sealer. Part of my motivation was two "loose" wires I found while I had the console out for a shifter boot replacement.

If anyone has had their carpet out, please give me a holler. Thanks for the help.
