Hi,
I bought a 120 volt a/c winch. The winch came with a hand held controller that makes the winch go up or down. I am wanting to do away with the hand held controller and wire it to a key switch. I ordered a key switch that is made to control a winch. It's a three position momentary switch. I'm not sure if I'm naming it correctly, but the middle position is OFF and the left and right position are ON and are momentary. I'm not sure how to wire this up correctly. I can take a picture of the switch once it comes in and post it here. I have included a couple of pictures of the wiring on the winch controller that is currently attached to the winch. Can anyone tell me how to wire this winch up correctly to the key switch? Thank you for any and all help.

Larry

OK, I see the remote control pendant connections and from that I can TAKE A GUESS at the control scheme. Yes,we can take some guesses at a correct connection, MAYBE, depending on if we get adequate information about how the key switch functions internally.

AND, based on MY GUESS about the present switch operation, the actual winch motor may be a DC motor. Can we see any information about the winch??

What we have here is a question where the original post person has already decided the answer and is asking for help making it work, instead of providing the request for a solution.
