Superwinch X2 Controller ~ Not sure where to buy replacement

[spikedbat]

Hi Guys,

The winch doesn't work via the switch, but does when I apply 12v directly to the winch itself.

Pretty sure the controller is the problem . I'm having major issues identifying the type and where to buy a replacement. All i find is the bigger solenoid types online.

I'll attach a pic of the part if anybody has a part # or anything or where to buy that would be greatly appreciated.

ThanksIMG_3988.jpgIMG_3987.jpgIMG_3988.jpgIMG_3987.jpg

Why don't you just fit something like this with a double acting spring toggle switch mounted on the dash ?

I can't find anything like that on there website. I sent them an email with a pic attached hoping for a response.. I find most of these big manufacturers aren't that great at replying to emails from the small guy.
Which was why I posted here first.

About 15 seconds on google came up with this, have you tried them ?

That particular controller has been out of production for some time. You could go with another style or make up the dual starter solenoid assy. that replaced it fairly easy.

I do have a used one if you want to go that route.

An alternative is to use a universal winch relay/controller (something like Jim's suggesting). I'm using one of these on a heavy machine and tested it to (what I thought would be) its limits at Ashtabula last weekend. No problems on a couple nearly dead-pulls that got the winch pretty warm.

They're stone simple and cheap. You only need to wire in a SPDT switch if you're lacking one.

This is precisely what I would do.
