The Drivers seat switch in my Focus has given up the ghost and is not readily available here.   4M5T-14A701-BA

I have noticed that there are after market ones for American cars on the left hand side but cant seem to see them for right hand drive cars.

There is one on Ebay but im worried it too may have the same fault. Is this something you can buy in an auto accessory store or a rare speciality item now discontinued?

I don't think there is any aftermarket ones in the UK, as you say 1 on ebay here for £20 i think id give that a try.

 If not, wait until I get back to work on Monday, I'll get a trade price  from Ford , on a genuine one, and can post it to you.

I didnt know you worked for Ford? Would something like that even be available new? I know when I tried to get a new circuit board that operates the auto transmission round the lever I was told its not available any longer and have been waiting for even a second hand one to become available.

I don't work for Ford , the firm I work for run a fleet of ford's. I get access to trade prices.

I can check on Monday if it's available,  and cost.

It's more likely  available  here than Australia

What's the part number of the auto bit you want, I can check that too.

I am having trouble with that as our auto transmissions seem different to the ones in UK. Ours have tiptronic and it was an idiot mechanic who engaged that that sent everything haywire

So you think for 20 quid that one would be worth trying for then? Im guessing a new one would cost alot more even if it was available?

Trying to sort a new one , can you pm me the chassis number🙂

Im not sure the chassis number will be of help as its an Australain plated car that was built in South Africa. The part number above is correct though as the one on Ebay and my one both have the same number.
