switch connectors

[Meir]

hello guys.
need 3 switch connectors.
just like these:




anyone can help?

[JFP in PA]

Junkyard items, to get them new, you have to buy the entire harness..........

[Heiko]

Most of the connectors are all available individually... but it wont be easy finding out which one you need unless you have the #'s

thanks JFP and Heiko.

i did some homework before posting.
the part number for the connector is 443972995 and its a VW Audi part (can be found in BMW as well).
just like JFP said (and sunset imports), "Porsche like to sale their connector as a hole wiring loom"
i can get the connectors pretty cheep from pelican parts:

Pelican Parts - Automotive Parts and Accessories - Porsche & BMW

problem is, i do not think it comes with the pins that go in it, and i don't know the part number for the pins.

was hoping someone who converted is car to a race car or someone who parting out will be able to help.
will wait couple of days, and then a trip to the graveyard.

Meir:
here is a link to Porsche part suppliers & dismantlers
Weissach.net - Porsche Parts Suppliers
Maybe some of the dismantlers can provide the connectors or harness

BUYA! :dance:
found 4 connectors, with the wires, from an 84 Audi.
cost me 30$ including shipping.

thanks for all your help guys.

Glad you found some... but man they make lots of $$$ on used parts!
I phoned a wrecker for the passenger side splash guard in front of the rear wheel and they wanted more than Porsche for a new one (unreal).

My VW guy called me back and said they can get them (takes a couple of days); apparently they are used in 19996-2004 EuroVan's and 2002-2010 Beetles. They come with the pins if you order them at VW :-)

thanks Heiko you are a good friend.
figured out, getting new ones + shipping will probably cost the same.
didn't want to put you through this trouble.
for 30$ it wasn't even worth for me to start searching the local junk yards.
once again thank you very much for you effort.

I was casually reading this post, and then…what? Did you say SPLASH GUARDS or the "mud flaps in front of the rear tires" as some people call them?

I have been quoted $70 and up for EACH, NEW!!! Almost that amount for good ones…except JD who cannot find them!

@Hieko - how much were these puppies and where? That is the LAST PART that needs attention! I know as soon as I get it perfect all the wheels are going to fall off. Maybe that is why I have tolerated it so long! That, and they are a bloody fortune FOR PLASTIC!!

Those guards are $40 bux a piece 'used' at Nineapart Nineapart Home - Used Porsche Parts - Porsche Recycling Facility

Whaletail in Kitchener (another used porsche parts dealer) also carries them but not sure how
much they are there.
