Switches and Wiring
The picture above shows a finished 2002 centre console.
You can click on the appropriate switch position to jump to the switch, connector and wiring details for it.
Switch Connectors
Many thanks to Paul McConnell who has supplied the following switch connector information.

The 5-way connector shells for the 2002 switches are (Tyco) AMP MultiLock and are as follows -
347477-1 (Black) - Fits Front and Rear Fog Lamp Switches
347477-2 (White) - Fits Heated Front Screen and Rear Wiper Switches
347477-3 (Blue) - Fits Heated Rear Window and Rear Wash Switches
347477-4 (Green) - Fits Heated Seat Switches
See AMP Drawing - 5-Way Receptacle Housing - MultiLock TRW Switch
The terminals are AMP/Tyco MultiLock 070 series female contact to fit 20-16 awg cable, this is AMP/Tyco part no. 175027-1 which is also equivalent to AMP/Tyco part no. 345208-1. They are available as a bag of 50 from RS Components - catalogue number 362-9367.
I managed to get some Black, White and Blue (they didn't have Green)
connector shells and some terminals on a strip from this company -
Heart Electronics
I couldn't get (or identify) the 6-way connectors used for the Electric
Window Switches, or the 10-way connector used for the Hazard Warning
Switch.
For the Electric Window Switches I've used individual terminals insulated with small sleeving.
For the Hazard Warning Light Switch I managed to find a suitable connector from a crashed late-series Rover 200 (mid-late 90's rounded shape one) in a scrappy (they use similar switches to the 2002 Defender and the Hazard Warning Switch is the same, but mounted vertically rather than horizontally), I've had to carefully un-crimp and re-use the terminals.
The wiring and switch pin-outs are in the RAVE 2002 CD electrical libraries and wiring diagrams, as are the Land Rover part numbers for the connectors, although my main dealer cannot find them as orderable parts.
You can download a .pdf of the Defender 2002 wiring diagram here -
All the 2002 switches, except the Hazard Warning Switch, are not suitable for switching loads directly - use them to switch relays.
The "One Touch, Push-Push" Rear Fog Lamp Switch switches the earth on an ECU (YWC104430L) which costs about twelve quid new. I also managed to get a suitable 4-way connector for this from the same scrapped Rover 200 and re-use the terminals in the same way as the Hazard Warning Switch.
If you can't get the right colour 5-way connector for the switch that you have, you can always pare off the keyway moulding on the bottom of the connector - it will then fit any switch.
You can also do this to the keyway moulding on the switches so that they fit into any of the dash apertures.
I've bought both the functional switches and blanks and, as I don't have heated seats or the desire for them, I'm using the heated seat switches and changing the caps for the blank ones, so that I can use the switches for other accessories.
You can also do this with all the other 2002 switches.

The Switches
Please note that the prices listed are for guidance only and are the amount I paid at my local Land Rover dealer at the end of 2004 and include VAT.
The wiring details and pin configurations shown under each switch are for a Defender MY2002 TD5. You will have to work out how to convert them for your particular vehicle.
