Thread: InCab Winch Controls

Does this help? Basically a double pole, double throw momentary switch wired in parallel to where the factory switch is wired in.



I have a cheapy Aldi winch which I just installed today. I'll be running an isolator n the cab, but using the factory hand controller if needed as it's wireless.

Thanks very much bobcat

I have an Engo 9000lb with umbilical control.
I still want to have the cable control as well as in cab control.

I will now need to work out what wire goes to were on the factory switches.

Looks like my weekend is now full

Cheers

I used 5 core trailer cable running from solenoid up thru engine to dash.

My winch has a remote as well which works from inside the cab and I am sure you could adapt a remote to your Warn.

That's a great diagram Bibcot

One of tbe easiest things to do is to wire up an extension cable one thst plugs in at the winch socket, routes through the firewall into the cab, preferably near the rear of the vehicle a d then you kust plug your standard controller and cable into that..

The reason you out it at the back is for those situations where you cant safely operwte from the front of the vehicle and theres nowhere to stand but behind your vehicle. It also helps with keeping the excess cable length out of your way.

If your aldi controller is like mine and has the detachable cable... duplicate that and then leave a 3 foot flylead that retracts to tbe center co sole, under the drivers seat or the b pillar.

If you get really into it...

Break open the co troller, replace the battery in there with 12v nicad/nimh and a charge regulayor then you ca also have the flylead cable wired up to charge the hand piece when its nnot in use
