im trying to wire a new switch for the winch on my 94 sportsman does anyone know how to wire it up? it has 4 wires 2from the battery and 2 from the winchwhen the old switch went dumb me didnt mark the wires and here i am thanks:

 

what is it for a winch? you have a conntacter(solnoide) right.

 

no soielnoid, my big winch has them but not this one this is just 2 wires coming from the winch motor, and 2 wires coming from the battrythe switch i have is a replacment for this winch but no instructions, not warnjust a cheapn winch for plowing thanks

 

i think it ahould have a solenoid even the cheap winches have them . what kind of winch is it?

 

i've never seen a wincvh w/out a solnoide of some kind. im saying you should have one. the 2 wires coming off the winch is for the forward and reverse of the spooling which should run back to your switch that should have 4 spots for wires. 2 for the winch and 2 for the power and ground.

 

Stendori,

Speaking of winches, I am yet to install mine. I understand all the wiring is there and I can just connect the connectors
and run the switch up thru POD up to the handlebars? No wiring to the the battery or anywhere else? How long did it take
ya to install on yours? Did you have to remove the cargo box or was it enough room in the front cut out?

ive done so many of them it gets easier each time so around 1 hr if i did nt fool around which is never lol. no the storage box doesnt come off just the front piece(head light assembly). make sure you unhook your head lights before so you can take the front right out of the way.

 

Cool, and all the wiring is up front just plug and pray right?

you have to run thr 2 winch wires from the winch back to the contacter. but its fairly easy, just make sure you dont pinch the wires on the mounting plate or run them where they can rub and arck off if they rub thru.

 

Cool beans thanks Bro.!
