Ford 2-Pin Heated Sun Visor Wire Harness Connector – OEM 1452599-1 | Female

The OEM 1452599-1 is a 2-pin female connector used in Ford heated sun visor harnesses. Ford’s heated sun visor (also called “spring heating visor”) uses a resistive heating element embedded in the visor to defrost or demist the visor mirror in cold weather. The 2-pin connector carries the heating element power and ground circuits. Available bare or with 15cm pre-wired leads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does the heated visor connector fail?
A: The sun visor is opened and closed repeatedly, which flexes the harness at the connector. Over time, the repeated flexing causes the connector locking tab to fatigue and the connector to work loose. The connector is also exposed to UV radiation from the windshield, which degrades the housing material.

Q: Are terminals included?
A: Yes, terminals are included with all variants.
