Need to tie a second switch (joystick style) in to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest concern is whether it even has a solenoid/relay setup or if the dash switch is acting as the solenoid as in a reversing switch. In which case I would need to run a separate relay and power wires to the winch itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
