Not sure if this is what you mean but i just mounted one of those marine type isolation keys in the engine bay so some little forker doesnt try to winch my car in half.

what winch do you have, if its a warn then run 12V to a switch, run the output of that switch to your momentary s for in/out then run out to the green and in to the black wires on the solenoid pack, if its not a warn then use this but the wire colors will be different

Did you get one thats rated for over 400 amps? If not its just gonna melt and make a mess.

I found the easiest way to isolate the winch was to switch the ground for the controller off.
Install the switch between the plug for the controller and the solenoids.
While your at it get a momentary ON -OFF - ON switch and wire up in cab controls.
