Just completed wiring my Honda Rancher 400 this afternoon. The hardest part was finding the ignition hot wire for the winch control switch.

What brand winch did you buy?

Are you saying you already have a Warn? A Venom is a copy made in China.

I got a Viper 2000 LB from an Ebay store for $118. That include shipping, mounting bracket, fairlead, winch, remote electronic box, and a handlebar mounted thumb switch.

Had the bracket and winch per the instructions in the machine in less 90 mins.

The wiring harness was another story. The instruction were just how to wire the winch, electronic contactor box and thumb switch. No particular make or model of any ATV was illustrated. Was pretty much on my own on how to run the wiring harness.

I put the Venom on my 05 Rubicon and it has worked great so far; on my second season plowing. You can use the "pink" wire that comes from the key switch for the power source. Carefully make a cut in the harness wrap with your utility knife by pulling some slack at the top with your fingers, making sure not to cut into the wires inside, then just pull up some of the pink wire, attach the splice connector, plenty of black tape and your good to go. I mounted the solenoid on the right side of the rear storage box and the supplied power and ground were just a bit short so I extended them with the same gage wire.

If you have any other questions, I can walk you through it.
