How to use a Harbor Freight Badlands wireless winch controller to make any winch wireless. This is hoe I did it on a Smittybilt winch but this can be adapted to any 3 wire winch controller.
Thanks. I really appreciate that feedback. The disjointed thing was something that I was thinking about when putting this together. I'm glad that part stuck out.
Thanks for answering my question.....will the wireless switch work on my Ramsey winch. It just might. I was wondering why you didn't just cut the wires to the wired connector and wire in the wireless wires. . But you did. Thanks for listening to me. Why are you still using the wired controller? I thought you said a pin was corroded. I understand a backup device. Nice job. Thanks.
I believe Ramsay uses a 3 wires system so you should be able to make it work. You could cut the controller wires but I wouldn't really recommend it. I prefer to keep my wired controllers intact as backups. I had a fuse blow in the wireless controller on my truck. Winch would have been dead without the wired controller.
I really don't know what would happen. I don't think it would be catastrophic but probably not a good thing either. I would recommend NOT even making it an option. If you are using the wireless remote, don't even plug in the wired controller. If you are using the wired controller, make sure the switch is off on the wireless remote.
It is an odd wiring color scheme. I had to trace all the wires to confirm what they were. All of it was made in China though so I'm not sure any color scheme is standard.
