In-cab winch switch

[chpd80]

Allright I've done this before with normal winch solenoid setups but my question is, I now have a sealed Ironman control box with remote and I want to hook up an in-cab switch again.
so short of breaking into the sealed box, is it somehow possible to rig up the switch?

Put the remote inside the cab.

OR
Chop the plug and a few inches of cable of your remote and plug it into your solenoid box, then join a new male plug onto your lead and a female plug onto the bit hanging out of the box.
You can splice a few wires in while you are at it for your 'in cab' switch.

Is your control box like this?

Should just be a matter of wiring a switch in and supplying power to the appropriate terminal similar to other setups. GUJohnno may be able to provide a wiring diagram, but it shouldnt be to complex to work out.

Hey kent. The ironman box should contain a solenoid SIMILAR to a Titan as in the picture posted above. Should be piece of piss... Drop in if ya need a point in the right direction.

That is an iron man solenoid pack as per gujohnno's members section post (i copied it over). Similar, yet different...

Thanks guys, I will go and pull apart the control box now, I didnt realise the sealed units from ironman contained the titan style solenoid pack inside, I have tapped into one of these before so shouldnt be too difficult.

Thanks Heaps

Or if you wanna do it cheap and easy

Get a household extension cord (3 wires), 2 switch's, wire in, done.

1 way switch - Power on
3 way switch -in, N, Out.

OR you could buy a remote wireless controller from tigerz11 or hobzee.

I was going to get a hard wired dash switch until tigerz11 offered me one of his wireless units for a price i couldn't refuse.

Here is the wiring for the solinoid with Warn 5-pin controller. To add an incab switch you would add a momentary swtich with an action like on a normal winch controller, with the centre common wire going to terminal 3. Momentary switch to terminal A and the other momentary switch going to terminal C.

But you have to open the box.
