First time installing a winch on an ATV. Is there a better keyed controlled accessory switch wire or can I use any wire that makes the test light glow when the key is in the on position? Also any advice on where to mount the contactor. It says to find a clean and dry place which is easy to find in the garage but I am pretty sure there really is not a place that will always be clean and dry. I would assume the higher the better. Thanks, Troy.

 

I am having no luck with the same install on a 08 Artic Cat 650 TRV. Did not buy the remote switch and there is no data provided on how to install with out the optional harness that comes with the remote???????

 

Every thing in the instructions go well until i get to the section that says.....

Once the handle bar switch is mounted, route
the two bullet terminal wires back to where the
contactor will be mounted. Splice the end of the
red 20ga wire to a key controlled accessory
circuit of the ATV (use the provided wire splice).
Using a test light, locate a suitable wire from the
ATV key switch. The wire should only have

power when the key is in the "ON" position.


This does not seem to make any sence....Are they talking about the bullet terminals the theremote switch would use or what. if so tried that with no luck........ I assume there is a silinoid that needs to engage when the key is in the on position.
