🔌 Enhance Your ATV Winch with KFI Products ATV-Cont Replacement Winch Contactor Review

This was a great low cost replacement for my failing contractor (this works INSIDE but not OUT). Slightly different from the original but me was able to cut the zip ties and rearrange the blue/yellow/red/black wires from the winch and get it to work.This also came with other connectors for green/black wires but I cut them off and used waterproof butt connectors to attach it to the old one to attach original white plug (maybe I ordered the wrong part #?) This whole process took about 40 minutes…

While working in the garden on my '05 Yamaha Kodiak, I noticed that my Warn 2.5 turns off but won't turn on. A little troubleshooting led to the contactor. By swapping the wires on the winch I was able to loosen the coil and turn it back on until a new one was ordered. Although the winch has only been used a handful of times, it's one of those things to have. Because it's rarely used, I couldn't afford the OEM price when I could get it at half price. Thanks to those who mentioned, the wire…

Only used twice to clear snow and it works. More than I can say about the 2 year old warning contactor that came with the winch. Same bolt pattern as the Warn so it bolts directly where the Warn was attached. I noticed one thing. The green wire on the KFI had a plug and the black wire had a socket. The complete opposite of Warne. So I changed the ends to connect to the warning switch plugs. When I connected the wires to a contactor of the same color, the winch worked in reverse. The entrance is

Purchased to replace a Polaris contactor on my 2002 Polaris 500HO winch. The old one worked sporadically, I disassembled it, polished the contacts and cleaned it, although it looked fine. Put it back together and it seemed to work fine for a couple of weeks and then became intermittent again. Having read other comments on the Polaris contactor, this seems to be a common complaint. Also thanks to other comments I was able to hook this up as there was no evidence of it (you hear KFI). Installs…

KFI rocker switch received about 3 years ago. I only use the winch on my quad for snow removal, only on my driveway and occasionally on my neighbor's driveway. Short up and down movement to raise and lower the plow. The original contactor started giving me trouble around after season 2 but got me through season 3 but was frustrating towards the end. I then ordered a new contactor, which eliminated the rocker switch. Attaching a contactor is not very easy, since it had to be mounted there. He…

just picked this up last week since my Polaris winch guard died. Delivery was as described and arrived on time. As for the contactor, it is absolutely identical to the Polaris 2500 winch contactor. Although pigtails have a fast connection. I decided to solder them and put them on a Polaris extension. The pigtail colors were the same as Polaris, so I decided to combine green with green and black with black. When I went to pull the winch, she actually stood up. So the colors of the wires were…

I installed a 3000 lb winch on the front of my garden tractor. After 2 years the F/R contactor failed. It was a cheap winch and I accepted that when I bought it. Bought to replace a broken contactor. Rocker switch properly connected. No problem. The +/- to the winch was reversed as I thought, but swapping the wires was trivial. I pocketed it and pulled about a dozen 10- to 15-foot sections of downed black locus from the edge of our forest to cut. 500 lbs to 1000 lbs depending on section…

I bought this product to use with the winch on my Polaris Ranger which is used primarily for snow removal. From the start, the Polaris contactor worked intermittently while plowing, causing great frustration as the plow could not be raised or lowered. Being an electrical engineer I assumed the problem was electrical but every time I pulled out the multimeter to check the contactor it started working. After I discussed the problem with my Polaris dealer they suggested a new contactor but to my…

I purchased a KFI Contactor to replace a Warning Contactor with an Arctic Cat. 2 wires from KFI contactor that connect to winch switch wiring harness, 3rd wire is ground to KFI connector. As you can see in the photos below, my Arctic Cat had 3 wires. No problem for anyone who wants to replace a 3-wire contactor with a KFI contactor for less than half the price. On fig #1 you can see where I cut 3 wires. my Warn contactor so I can pair it with the KFI contactor and keep my original winch switch…
