Tistopher Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Does anyone here work for Ford and have access to parts? To cut a long story short I need the following: I probably know it's probably not possible but I'd rather know for certain instead of forking out big money for 3 connectors on a loom. AMP 0-1241799-1, AMP 0-1241795-5 & AMP 0-1241795-3 which are a protected part made by TE Connectivity and only Ford can purchase them.

Micro Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Might be better buying a scrap loom? You can browse part catalogues at http://catcar.info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is I would need to snip the wires on a heated seat just to nick the connectors then solder and shrink wrap it onto my existing wires.

Find some connectors with equivalent pin count and current carrying capability and replace both ends. You will find they are crimp connectors, if you solder the pins on you run the risk of not being able to insert them into the connector housing (there is a spring clip section you mustn't get solder into)Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I will be able to connect it back into the connector block at the front of the seat. I can't see any other way of doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have heated seats in my focus. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk Hiya mate yeah so you have your connecter at the front which is held on by a 7MM bolt and plugs in the seat, then the connector block attached to the seat has plugs going in it, green, purple and possibly something else, these will be weight detection and seat belt detection and probably airbag. They are all in situ at the moment, but I have 3 other wires which should be there for the heated part. Brown, Blue and Black these are the ones that someone has cut the connectors off and left the exposed wire, so theoretically I can get a loom or the connectors somehow and bodge it back together and plug it back into the connector box attached to the seat. Does this make sense? 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji846]Could you just connect the seat separately with a new set of connectors rather than using the existing connector?Have you tried ringing a ford dealer (or FordPartsUK) and asking if they have them?Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Just de-pin the wires from the connector block on the seat and crimp on some new ends to match both sides of the loom.Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
