Switch harness for professional wiring

[bjarne996]

Does anybody know where to obtain a harness that will allow professional wiring connections to the original dashboard switch?

I want to install a dashboard spoiler switch, but would like to do this more professionally than just to connect separate cable shoes to the switch.

Preferably I would like to obtain the harness that holds all the switch connections, but my local Porsche dealer tells me they only sell the complete wiring harness for about $750 :eek:

If Porsche does not sell the switch harness separately, does anybody know:

- who the manufacturer is?

or preferably

- can they be bought elsewhere?

:help:

Thanks,

Bjarne

Porsche sells plugs for switches, and the electrical pins.

This one I bought as a VW part because it was cheaper.

I was sure it had to be aval somewhere - dont know why my local Porsche dealer told me it was unavailable....

Anyway, since I did not know better, I made my own by using insulated cable shoes and moulding them into epoxy. The result is as good as the original solution, except that you can see it is not original...

I connected the swich light to the electrical pins inside the plug of the neighbouring plug. I opend the plug "flap" and extracted the electrical pin by pressing a small screwdriver in between the flat side of the electrical pin (cable shoe) and the plastic plug wall, while pulling the pin out. Once out it was easy to connect an extra wire by soldering on to the electrical pin. In this way I avoided having to cut the wires to make the reqired connections.
