Warn winch control box plug

[jimbo jones]

Can you buy a plug that is riveted in on the control box mines stuffed

[jimbo jones]

ANYONE?

Yep, no probs.

Just go to your local Warn dealer and let them know if you need a 3 or 5 pin.

you can just get em from an auto parts shop. It's a pretty common plug.

i went through the same thing, ended up changing over to a caravan male and female plug, some ppl dont like the idea because you cant swap remotes or buy another remote, but the way i see it, caravan plugs are even cheaper and readily available than the warn ones,

ateco want $47 for the plug or something like that, i fixed mine for $6. just replace it with whatever plug,

the first answer i got was "no, youll have to replace the whole control box, thatll be $498 thanks" ......typical

no worries jimbo,

dunno bout you, but there was no way i was forking out $45 bucks for a 3 pin plug, when i could do this for about $6 or $7 and i couldnt see any major downfalls, except for the ones such as

"if your controller breaks" or "if you run over it" but you can touch wires/link solenoids to run the winch, and iv since put an in cab switch aswell, it was all too easy, 6 months later and all is still sweet

I did mine today I went to Jay car and bought a electronice male and female plug (smaller than a trailer plug) works a treat.
I rang ARB Wollongong thay said thay dont make 3 pin plugs any more so I would have to buy a 5pin one that means I would have to buy both plugs ends and they said $145 & I laughed and said no thanks
I'll post up some pics of my box latter.

[klrevo]

sweet as,

its all too easy hey, but understandable that people who simply dont know and dont have anyone to ask just pay some of these rediculous prices. thats why i can justify all the other crap i buy, because somewhere along the line i saved money on something

definitely put some pics up when you can, will be good to see,

Heres my control box all finished.

looking good jimbo, as i said i really dont see a problem because even in an eergencey you ca always touch wires or link solenoids, well done
