Review on 🏍️ High-Performance Replacement Handlebar Switch - Compatible with All Winches for VIPER ATV / UTV Models by Mark Howard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good winch control Best external accessory

I have a small winch (Harbor Freight) that only has a wireless remote control. Its response was too slow for my intended use (lifting a snow blower). This switch was perfect. It appears to be of good quality and connects easily to the contactor that my winch uses to control the direction of the winch. In case anyone else wants to do it, the remote control is the smaller of the two components in the control box and is easily identified by the small black wire antenna and the fact that it doesn't have high voltage wires. Remove it by isolating the rest of the hot red wire, then connect the wires from the new switch to the appropriate terminals on the contactor. (You may need to toggle them to get proper I/O functionality.) It's easy and means you don't have to replace a contactor, which costs almost as much as a winch. Thanks again to Revain for making these things easy to find and available at a reasonable price.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • So far so good
