I am wanting to install a rocker switch in the cab to run my dump trailer.
Anyone done this?
I am having trouble finding the right switch, Trailer is power up and power down non reversing motor (two selinoids, one up one down)
4 wires to the handheld switch which I have tried to duplicate in the cab but to no avail.

 

just need a switch to run the motor in the trailer.

 

Does the hand held have any indicator lights in it? If so..

one wire is 12v
one to up relay
one to down relay
one to ground

Go the the mfr website and look for an owners / wiring manual

 

Thanks,
I have talked to manufacturer of the motor but did not askfor schematic
Of the switch, I will try that in the morning.
I have determined that the switch needs to close circuits from power
To solenoid and ground for each direction, at least that is what I think the original switchdoes.

 

Perhaps a switch from a winch mfg'r??? HD relay to power in and power out.
Warn makes a wired remote with a rocker switch. You could also get the wireless kind if it makes it easier to install.

 

I have here the info from manufacturer, I am no electrician so I don't understand how to read the thing.

I just try to duplicate what is existing.

 

Just order item # 8 from the parts list, part # 395-17, and wire it thru a four pole trailer connector from the trailer in to the truck. Easier, quicker and most likely as cost effective as jerry rigging something yourself.

 

Here is the schem for the switch..

Or, you could use a wireless setup
