So this is NOT for someone who uses all wire nuts and positaps!! This is assuming you have a reasonable understanding of wiring and have some ability to diagnose your specific winch wiring diagram, rocker layout, Wireless remote wiring diagram.
It is assuming that you have two winches, a wireless remote, a battery isolator, a heavy duty continuous duty relay; these parts will be listed at the end.
If you have a Wireless remote, power the remote and note which output feeds positive for “IN”and which feeds positive on “OUT”.
You will wire the direction switch just like you normally would, and feed a switches fused positive to it. A good way to do this is use the aux plug n play harness listed at the end.That is usually the RED wire in the winch wiring kits. The Wireless remote can get power from the red wire as well.
[{{NOTE: If you are using the heavy duty relay like I am to bypass the battery isolator when winching you will want to connect the POSITIVE feed to it, to the “IN” side of the SPDT switch that would be “1” as I have it drawn. This will allow you to do 2 things have the batteries both being charged when winching even if the Aux battery is below the 12.7v cutoff of the True Battery Isolator and allow you to jump your own machine; if the Main Starting battery has gotten too low. You would be able to jump itself by selecting the center “off” position on the winch selector DPDT switch and pressing “IN” on the wireless remote or Winch IN/OUT switch which will cause the Continuous duty relay to bypass the True Batt Isolator}}]
The SPDT switch will then feed the incoming on the DPDT, usually the Front winch is the top of the rocker and rear winch is the bottom of the rocker. If I have them inverted just swap what winch is wired to where. The (DPDT) outgoing is what picks which winch contactor the direction switch(SPDT) is providing power to.
The IN/OUT from these switches to the winch contactors are the connections CIRCLED in GREEN, NOT THE RED X’s.... You WILL release all the magic smoke out of your wireless remote receiver and probably at least your switches if you make it to the main connections on the winch contactors.
You may have to experiment and see which of the feeds is “in” and which is “out” on the contactors.
Wireless Remote
Continuous Duty Solenoid
True Battery ISO
Headlamp Low/High Plug n Play
Ask @Hondasxs for the low beam output if you want dash light control.
Auxiliary Switched power Plug N Play Harness
SPDT Winch IN/OUT
DPDT Switch
Winch Direction Rocker (this is a custom order just call OTRATTW)
