Hey... wanna watch me use my winch for the very first time?

[elkguide]

I'm actually better looking than that, in real life.

Isn't it a shame that the camera always ADDS 40 pounds?????

I bought that $15 wireless box/remote... but for the life of me, I can't figure out the hookup. It just clicks.

You didn't get a Carchet by any chance?? They look identical to the Qiorange I have and several people have had trouble with them.

That one looks exactly like mine as well. When it clicks you should have 12 volts to one of the 2 wires you run to the winch solenoid.

Yeah. It defective. That's all I can come up with.

I put it on a voltmeter and it won't switch 12v to the "in/out" wires. That's hooking straight to the + and - on a stand alone battery on my bench.

I'm going to send it back and exchange.

Ive NEVER owned a winch.

It was quite exciting, to say the least.
(Shelle video'd me)

I'm pretty much a first responder now. I passed this downed tree limb about a mile from the house, on my way home from the dealership.

Also, at the moment I have the winch remote port coiled up and zip tied under my hood. (So that's why the hood's off)
I bought a wireless remote, but have not installed it yet. I asked the dealership to NOT drill any holes in the dash.

Warn Vantage 4000-S Synthetic.

Don't even try to count the number of things I did wrong... just say "looking good!"

Haha

Lol.. you dork!

Ps.. my first remote wouldn't work. It would click but not engage the winch.

Buy this remote. You already have the plug in for the hand held. This kit has a receiver that plugs right into that same spot and no wiring needed. Buy once cry once

No man. I watched a guy demo that and it was, "insert the transceiver into the port. Now hold button down 3 seconds till the little green light comes on. Put on your gloves..."

I ain't got time for gloves!!!

Be careful getting too close to cable and don't let yourself get in between the machine and what you are winching.Winching is fun, Especially if you are pulling out Your uncles JD gator.But it also can be deadly. I have seen more damage done by cable snapping and machines tumbling.I pull trees with mine all the time. I use a loop strap and a small chain. Put the strap around limbs and use chain to loop over hitch and pull with pioneer. And wireless is the way to go.

I bought a snatch block and a "tree saver". Amazon. Hasn't come in yet.

I've thought about adding the D ring to my bumper, somewhere, but I think I can just loop a tow strap while using the snatch block for the time being.

The d rings are nice to hook to when you're in a hurry!

You mean if I'm hanging off the side of a mountain, hurry?

I really wanted this remote, but Warn says it only works with 5 pin remotes. My Honda Warn Provantage 4500 has a 3 pin remote.

2. In,
   
3. Out.
