Post subject: | Winch relay |
I have a 4500 winch and it has a hand swich/relay I had on on my buggy all last year and never needed it I used it once in the spring and then the next time I needed it. It was broken I was thinking rust or something turns out the bar that push across the bolts melted and fell off. I had a new one that had bigger gage wire so I put it on and now same thing. Only used it on a 15' pull in the woods and once last weekend pulling it on the trailer. Anyone ran into this? Im think of trying to find some type of relay for a biger winch and wiring it up on a 3 way switch. Any ideas on a relay or something else I should do? I dont need this on top of needed it in the woods:twisted: Posted using the WoodsBuggy Mobile App |

You need a 12VDC magnetic Contactor rated for the current draw of the Winch motor. |

Two of these> http://www.summitracing.com/parts/spw-2237/overview/ Wired similar to this> Attachment: On my 5000# winch I used 2 gauge jumper cables for the leads 53, 54, 64 and 65. For the switch I used a McMaster Carr # 7172K25 Number of Circuits 1 When Switch Is Left Circuit, Is Off or On Right, Circuit Is On or Off Switch Action Springs Back to Center Number of Terminals 3 Industry Designation SPDT (ON)-OFF-(ON) Amp Rating at 125V AC 15 28V DC 20 Toggle Height 0.69" Additional Specifications Washdown Switches Three Position—Switch is Off in Center Position I mounted the toggle in the dash, ran two 16 ga wires to the coil terminals on the solenoids mounted in a waterproof box. Summit sells other solenoids that are more self contained. Hopefully the pdf works |

This is the breaker I put on my buggy. Granted, my winch is a 9500 lbs.. |
