P1000 Club Store Winch Rocker Switch

[packer58]

I have a harbor freight 5000 lb winch on my buggy and just noticed the winch will only power out but not in, I did some troubleshooting and determined the cheap HF rocker is shot. My question is….. will one of the club store rockers work ? There are 3 wires plugged into the back of the current rocker, (1) black, (1) red, (1)blue.
It appears that all the winch rockers come with a prewired harness but all I need is the rocker, trying to address this question directly to the boss man but can’t seem to find his user name at the moment.

Thanks

If you've determined the switch is bad, you don't need anything but a replacement SPDT ON-OFF-ON rocker switch. Sold all day on Chinazon for 8-9 bucks, or a nice Carling style replacement on the Club store for $22 plus shipping.

His username is ... wait for it ... @Hondasxs. 😆

This would work just fine. You can add a ground and it will be lighted.
This is a Carling brand - Winch In/Out Rocker Switch, SPDT, ON/OFF/ON.

The pre-wired would be a full replacement for the harness you already have.

Thanks fella’s, I will get your switch ordered up pronto.
Honda SXS, who woulda thunk it ……….. I was drawing a total blank this morning 🤔
