I have a question..I have a 2001 sportsman and have a Warn winch (A2000)
and it has that stupid rotory switch,I want the handle bar type switch,like the mini or
something to that effect, Does anyone know if this one would work? heres the link..
MINI Rocker
any help is much appriciated! I know it says the 3.0 2.5 1.5 but I dont see why mine wouldnt work...
its a Warn and its inbetween the 2.5 and 1.5 .....I just dont know

thanks in advance!

 

Fraid not. That mini-rocker is made to power the coil of a high current contactor that comes with the 2500 winch that replaced the A2000. I have an A2000 as well (with the crap rotary switch) and I am changing mine over to use a contactor similar to Warn's (first link below). Trouble is Warn wants almost as much for the Upgrade Kit as they do a whole new winch. I got a Superwinch contactor, a toggle switch from a local store and I am doing the wiring myself. Warn also sells just the contactor as well (second link), but it's still way too much money IMO. Good luck.

COntactor and Switches

 

BUT I can use this one.......so it says! rocker switch

 

Yes you can use that one, but it's a pain in the but, because you have to route the large winch power wires to it on the handle bars. With a contactor and mini switch, you can mount the contactor anywhere (I am mountintg mine down under the front rack, and run small (18 awg) wires to the little switch. My brother in law has one of the large rockers, and says he would rather the rotary than that thing.

 

I just got that one shipped to my house this morning( BIG rocker ),your kinda right having the big wires does kinda suck.But its on! and looks really clean, and works well! Just hook 1 wire to the sol. 1 to the neg. and the other 2 too the winch. But if I had to do it again NOW KNOWING that I could get an upgrade to make it a 2500 lb and have a small rocker,for about 100 bucks more than the rocker I just bought...I would do that 4 sure
