Mk3 2.0tdci Auxiliary Input Help

[bigjimmyauk]

Picked up a 2005 2.0 tdci with FSH and a lot of history.

Got a aux socket next to the gear stick and in the glove box. The one in the glove box works but the one next to the stick is had it plastic has broke and flopping around. Spoke to ford dealer and they are adamant the part don't exist. I just want to replace the socket. Any ideas or part numbers anyone can help with.

If you can post a photo of the offending part then I can better advise you.

It could be that the previous owner fitted a non oem part though (unless it is the same as the glovebox socket).

Popped it off this morning. It is a genuine ford part but from what vehicle I have no idea. Never seen another mk3 with one in this location

[MONDEO TXS 2.2]

That's been put in by a previous owner for sure

How Ford can't recognise that as a standard aux socket baffles me.

Probably find they don't like selling just the socket and want you to buy the full kit.

I'll dig up the part number for that socket tonight, it is definitely available as a standalone part.

Parts guy probably didn't cross index his search and because it didn't show under Mondeo he just didn't bother looking further.

I've got one :) rang them again after stripping it out and gave him the number off the side. He said yep we do this under a fiver including VAT. And your right it's not for a mondeo aparantly for other models but ford have it listed now as a generic ford multi model part .

Baffles me how the first guy didn't know anything about AUX sockets.

B'cos he was a thick bellpiece?
