Installed a KFI 3500 Stealth this weekend. Question about hooking up. It came with a switch to be used on the handlebar of an atv. Can it be disconnected and wired to a switch on the switch plate I installed? What did most of you do when installing a winch? On the accessory wiring I took the lazy but easy way out, not the cheapest, and bought an XTC wiring kit. Did go with OTRATTW switches. Beginning the installation of the kit this week.

Yeah. This is what I did too. Used there wires and ran it to a winch in/out switch on the dash.
Should just be 3 wires. Power in and 2 out's for winch in/out.

When I did mine, I used the Honda kit. I kept the long lead switch that ran to a connector in the glove box and added a dash switch. Others have gone with a wireless remote.

HTH!

RedFred1, I installed the Honda/Warn winch kit as well. I used the harness provided and installed the Long Lead Remote connector on the dash. I'd like to install as dash rocker switch...my question is, can you provide some insights on wiring the new rocker switch?

When I installed mine I put the "plug" for the winch remote under the hood and added a dash switch. I purchased a generic switch from Amazon, it was plug and play with the winch solenoid.

Sure there are a variety of ways to skin that cat. The wire from the remote connector has:

one +12volt lead, Black/silver
one Out lead, white/silver
one In lead, green/silver

You just need to replicate that with your new winch toggle switch. You can either splice into those wires from the back of the glove box connector or run a new set using a different power source.

On mine, I had the entire dash off so I could get to everything. I cut the wire harness and ran it to my new switch,

Black/silver to center pole pins 2/5
white/silver to out pins 1/4
green/silver to in pins 3/6

here is a rough picture...

Good Deal! Thank you very much for the information. Time to buy a rocker.

If you would of got the 4500 it would of came with the right switch for your UTV. Most people put the 3500 on ATV.

I bought a 4500 Superwinch and it came with the handle bar switch and not a rocker.

38' is pretty lame.

After going back and checking everything... the above picture was wrong. The black wire and the white wire need to be swapped. I am in the process of creating a drawing for the wiring. It will reflect that black/silver is the out lead and the white/silver is the +12v.



Sorry for any confusion.
