How would I go about finding wire leads/pins and pin extractors?? I have part numbers listed in the Shop manual but the parts guy at the Dealer say's he has no way to order them...

 

Why not buy them from a general supplier?

 

I wouldn't know where to begin, I don;t know the Manufacture or model line/size or who might carry them,,,

 

Then why are you trying to do it yourself instead of letting an experienced technician who already has the tools and sets of pins and sockets do the job?

 

Thank You!!!

 

Is there anything in particular that you were looking into having done?

 

I had a thread in the XE category, I'm upgrading my stock Luxtec seats to leather...
* If I can't find the pins to add the missing wires, I"ll probably reconfigure the Passenger as a Non Memory seat.

 

So unless you are worried about your electric seat-warmer connections, I am not seeing the concern over anything electrical...

 

I was hopping I could acquire the "Official Jaguar Recommended" pin extractors.
(The local Parts manager says he has no way to order them...)

 

LOL-

Jaguar does not have the corner on a totally unique pin extractor!

Depending on the type of connectors you have, you can even buy a set of them on Amazon if you want to where you can get a 36 piece set for $8.99:


On the other hand, here is an outfit that claims to have an "OEM" pin extractor for $36.00

And also this video should give you the general idea as to how to do it without them using a box-cutter knife blade:


Maybe you can talk to someone in the service department and ask them which type is in your car.

 

Ok, Thank's, the Video was a totally different style, but the OEM, looks like one of their's and the Amazon LOOk like they might work...



I would like to Acquire Overlays for my power and CAN bus. I haven't had much luck getting on TOPIX, I may be able to order them there...

 

Please explain what Acquire Overlays etc means.

 

Looks like if you are going to work on the socket shown to the lower-left in the illustration, you should be able to get both types of extraction tools from the following outfit:

They are located in Fort Worth and have a toll-free number that you might try calling to get additional help with the specific tool(s) selection:

Try a Ford dealer. I was a Ford parts manager, and I had 4 cabinets full of harness repair goodies. Probably 100 or more pins, some common shells, and weatherproof splices. Started as a kit released through Ford in the service equipment catalogs (Rotunda), but I restocked and expanded the collection through a Winzer Products distributor.

 

Ok, overlays are premade wire harnesses sections to replace damaged sections (the Yellow wire shown above)


In the manual they list part # for extractors or replacement leads, but I wasn't able to order them from the Dealer...

Power in (for Memory seats)

Memory Seat (Driver's)

Non Memory


Cumming from the Chassis I don't have the Red/Yellow from the Passenger Fusebox a ground or the Twisted pair for the CAN bus
As for the Climate the connections are the same as Heated from the chassis harness.
I would prefer to add the missing wires, but otherwise I will reconfigure it as the Non memory seat.

I have ordered from Allied before, Thank's I will also talk to the local ford dealer.
