I agree!  I have had to use a winch only once, but that was to pull a buddy out.

I'll be curious to find out if the new unit fixes your issues... I really think it will considering the symptoms you are describing. 

Joe

Well, I received the new unit, and WOW it cured the problem.  It works fine.  So again, Thanks!

I am happy that I have found this forum and the help it provides.

I am in the South Metro area.  No real trails here, ride in Wisconsin mostly, trying to convince to CP to travel sout, or at least chase the warmth and ride.

He's trying to go wireless as well as in cab rocker... Others have used some wireless adapter wired as pictured above.. seems he is having a remote issue. Considering the winch works fine with wired setup... But when he connects the wireless adapter it immediately fires off the winch... 

THOUGHT..... Pull the remote battery.... that would at least rule that out.... into the brain unit itself..... not breaking contact.....

So glad we chatted about that Andy....

😉

Joe

Well that was my thought also, I tried and still fired off.  Returning unit and just waiting for another. 

Thanks again for the help.

Just upgraded from a CFmoto to the defender! Wow what a  change. Of course with the new machine, comes a new trailer and a learning curve, so thanks in advance for the help!

Yep... if you have the red hooked to positive, black to ground, white to rear post of winch controller, and yellow to the front post..... and you start to reel instantly..... seems something is askew... have you tried touching just one of the wires to both front and back posts? Seeing if the winch fires off? Either in or out....

Then trying the other wire in the same manner???

Oh how I love wiring..... NOT!!!

Good luck,

Joe

Yes, I tried just one and it winds or retracts.  I am thinking that the switch on the remote is bad, It works just fine with the switch in the cab, but I would like a remote either wired or wireless "Just in case".

I just purchased in Minnesota and got the last 4 door 2021 in Blue.. If you can find one, BUY IT.  I have heard that the supply chain is slow and there will be a limited number produced until 2022!

I have a 2021 and have the same wireless as you have so graciously shown the wiring to, but I am wondering if I am missing something.  When I hook it up as shown, my winch will just reel in or reel out depending which wire I place first.
