Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

If that's not it, try searching for the cheap chinese turn sig switches that are wired the same and cut the wires off and use that.
btw, that ebay search took all of 20 seconds.

Your picture is not the best to determine the number of pins, type etc... but this looks sorta like yours for $0.99usd (order 2; you'll need extra pins guaranteed)

Thanks, but that's not what I'm looking for. Perhaps it was my fault not describing the thing properly... I want the OEM Husqvarna's 9-pin connectors, exactly the same used in the TE310 for the light switch.
Btw, I searched intensively before posting!

that's what I was commenting on- nobody can see what the connector you're interested in looks like. I just guessed at "6-pins". [edit: I'm saying that you need a better picture of the connector; not the switch]
you're not gonna get this thing through husky (I guess you realize that); somebody is gonna recognize the connector on some other application- possibly.
(do not discount the chinese switch idea- hacking the connectors off one of those might be cheap.)

Sorry for such a late reply, but I was waiting the arrival of the order...
After extensive research, I was unable to find the exact same connector (original seems to be from "Domino" brand, at least the switch is from them), so ordered a pair of chinese connectors from eBay (see photo). They are waterproof and of great quality. Cost was around 1.25€/each.
At the moment, my idea is to replace the OEM connectors (see photo) with the chinese ones (both ends, wiring harness and switch), and do the same on the new switch (KTM style). This way, I can interchange between switches (if I ever need to do it) like plug-and-play.
Btw, it's a 8 pin connector, not 9 as I initially stated..

another solution: buy the 9-connector plug set. take your 8 wires, with the crimped connectors already on them, out of the broke shell and insert them into the new shell, leaving one space blank. grease. hint: typically male connectors (pins) go in the female shell. also: solve the strain problem also that caused your connector to break.
your original connector can still be used: clean it (!), connect it and put a zip tie around the long axis to hold both halves together. also solve the strain problem that cause the connector to break in the first place. and use grease (dielectric is best) on all 4 ends of that connector.
for best results: try these solutions in reverse order; it's hard to go back after you've cut the connectors off.
good luck.
ps- the dirt in your connector is brought in by water. use grease on all 4 ends AND the pins themselves.

I already used similar connectors (2 pin, 3 pin, and 4 pin) and yes, it can be tricky!Btw, let me explain something... The connectors are not broken. I just need to replace the bulky overly wide OEM switch to free space so that I can install my rally navigation controls (roadbook swicth, ICO/odometer switch) and at the same time having a headlight switch (just for lights, not using the indicators at the moment). This is depicted in the photo... from top to bottom: headlight ktm style switch, ICO remote, roadbook switch.
