WTB: 95-97, 99-01 Continental power seat connector

[SCTBIRD1173]

I have a friend looking for the power seat connector for a 95-97 and 99-01 Continental with heated seats. It's also used in the 99-01 Cobra taillight harness. I have included a picture courtesy of Motorcraft. It used to be sold as WPT-343 but it has been discontinued. He needs 2 if anyone can get their hands on these. Thanks everyone!

I'm fairly sure that my '99 Town Car uses the same ones.. It may make it easier to find in a salvage yard.

On mine, which didn't have factory heated seats, one end of that connector still existed behind the door panels.

I know, because I tapped into it when I added heated seats. I don't remember if it was the male or female end of the connector inside the door though..

I love a parts challenge.

From what I can find, the Ford part# equivalent is 3U2Z-14S411-KLA. You might try searching for that number instead (with and without the dashes).

If you want new, there's one dealer who has ONE and only one, maybe the last one on earth:
Bob Allen Ford
Overland Park, KS
913-381-3000

That dealer has a lot of hard to find NOS parts, and they know it, so it'll probably cost you full retail, about $27 - $34, which is ridiculous. Have you called a dealer and asked them to look through their computer for inventory in the warehouses? It's possible there are a couple still around around.

Otherwise it looks like ebay or a junkyard. Or substitute new male and female connectors.

Aghhh... I was pulling stuff from a 1997 Continental with heated seats in the yard today :S If I make it back out there, I'll grab them.

Bob Allen Ford is local to me if you need me to pick something up.

Thanks Mike! I'll check into that too. :thumbsup:

Thanks Mark! I never thought to check the locator for the long number. The D2DLink locator doesn't show anyone with it but I've dealt with Bob Allen Ford a few times. I still have connections at my old work to buy stuff 10% over cost so it would be 20 and change plus shipping, still too much for a connector imo.

I don't think he tried eBay and I know he wouldn't substitute connectors on his 15K mile '03 Cobra garage/dyno queen.

Thank you Thomas! If you make it back there and grab them let me know.

I grabbed two sets of these today, both sides. I'll send you a PM with info
