P500 Honda sub wiring harness

[Fischer]

Hello. Is there a benefit to buying the honda sub harness for a warn winch mount? Does this harness make it so one doesnt have to splice into factory wires? Thanks

Yes, you won't have to splice into factory wires for low amp power. Switches, small led light, stuff like that but you don't want to power the winch through it, you'll cook it. It just plugs into the cig lighter circuit and gives you 4 hots and 2 grounds...still 10 or 15 amp max draw though. Winch power should be ran to battery.
Btw, this is the $10 one you're talking about? I believe there's another one available for much more money, you don't need it.

Yes the 10 dollar one. I was going to use it just for the rocker switch in/out. Would you use it for that purpose?

Absolutely, well worth the $10. 👍

I've got all the wires hooked to the battery this would just be for the rocker switch.

So there is a plug n play next to the cig lighter that the sub harness plugs into?

Sorry trigger. Still trying to navigate through the forum. So there is a plug and play next to the cig lighter that the sub harness plugs into?

No sir there is no "other" plug so to say.
You unplug the lighter plug and this plugs into your lighter and the factory plug plugs into the harness and leaves you a few outputs prewired into the harness along with 2 ground leads.
I also looked for a couple of days for what I misunderstood and was not there.

Thanks for the help.

Ummmm, no, there IS a plug behind the dash that the accessory plug hooks into. It's powered by the same fuse as the cig lighter, but doesn't plug into the cig lighter outlet... or did I read your comments wrong???

I stand corrected and apologize.
Thank you

You’ll find a red connector under the hood that the Acc harness plus into. My winch relay had bullet connectors that plugged directly into bullet connectors on the Acc harness, so for me it was “plug and play”. The other stuff I powered thru the harness were a bit more “homegrown”, but the harness made that work so much easier.

What brand of winch did you use?

I got the Smittybilt XRC3.0

$10 honda oem sub harness is a great deal, easy key on power for my radio, aux light, winch and power steering relay. Nice that bullet connectors were a match to my radio. Thinking @Hondasxs store also has a plug and play one for the cigarette lighter socket.

I believe you have the right description. Damn so many different opinions.
