Hi all,
does anyone know where I can get a mating connector to this one pictured?

It's the connector that is on the electric SEAT motor loom and the mating connector that I am seeking would perhaps normally be on the switch loom.

David.

Also I believe that connector should be the same in a discovery 1...,
Just throwing that out there
I have used the seat switches Out of that Type discovery... For my classic
 
Thanks Datatek, Yes, soldering was my first plan but I thought if I could get a mating connector it would make future removal of seats easier. Thanks Mikieman for your input - I'll check out Disco1s

I should tell you my plan - as you all may have better ideas!

I bought some leather elecrtic seats from a hard dash to fit into my soft dash model that has manual cloth seats. I have now discovered there are a couple of differences between hard and soft dash seats so the transplant has seen me collecting some spacers for the rear of the seats and assocoated bolts and nuts. Also the armrests on a soft dash seat is thinner in order to clear the central console better, so the hard dash seats are a tight fit against the console.
What I really need is a nice set of grey leather seats from a soft dash (I don't actually care about electric or manual - probably prefer manual to be honest!). But I will soldier on with getting these working in the meantime as I suspect I will waiting a while.
So the seats are in but finding switches for them is not going to be easy so I thought I would make up a little box fitted with 4 spare electric window switches on a flying lead that I can drive the motors with. When not in use, I'll chuck it under the seat. In reality, if there is only one driver of a car - how often do you adjust the seats? To save me making a box for each seat, If I had the maing connetor I could plug the one box into either seat.

Do you see just how complicated my simple plan is?

Any comments appreciated (though not about my sanity)

You could use a change over switch in your box and connect to both seats.
 
Thanks all.

Datatek : I'm not so sure a change over switch would be that simple. It would have to switch over 8 wires at the same time (or perhaps could get away with 4 if given a bit more thought). At 15A per wire it would be chunky for sure.
Marjon: I had a look on their site but no sucsess. I was kind of hoping someone might have one saved from a scrapper that the price of postage and a pint or two might make them part with it.

I would like to avoid butchering the seats by chopping off the connector and fitting my own or soldering wires as perhaps one day I will find better seats and want to pass these on to someone else.

1 switch and change over relay(s).
 
Did you fix this?
I have the dreaded seat ECU fault so tried replacing components to no avail. Currently using a hand made harness that plugs into the rear cigar lighter and feeds power to the seat motors. Simple toggle switches (2 pole 3 position). Made connections to that -lug using individual bullet connectors. Crude but effective.
 
Hi Trio,
No not really. I still have the leather electric seats fitted and as it's only me driving I manage without the ability to adjust. I am however contemplating repairing the old cloth manual seats and putting them back in, but as the old girl is off the road waiting for me to fit a new steering box I'm in no hurry to come up with a better solution.

AFAIK you should be able to get the female side (receiver), colour isn't important as long as the pins line up. The alternative may be to cut off the TTS connector completely and replace with a more modern automotive connector but that is a bit of a faff and I'm sure you know the story of "that'll only take a few minutes....." Good luck!
