I'm hoping to get some info on how to get past this issue,,,, I have a Badlands ZRX 9000 winch I bought at Harbor Freight about a year ago and have only used it twice and worked great both times. I recently had a use for it and I'm thinking the neighborhood dog snuck into my garage and chewed up the wire on the controller,,,then carried off all the pieces to remove the evidence,,,,,,  Actually,,,I just flat do not where I might of stashed the frigging thing where even I could not find it to use it,,,,!! I'm thinkin "The younger I get,,,,The more I remember,,,,!!! Having only been used twice in it's life,,,it still looks like a brand new machine as I built a hinged metal cover mostly to keep them dang neighbor hood dogs away from it,,,,, I called HF customer service and they tell me that HF does not stock a replacement controller for this machine,,,,!!! Ain't that a beech,,,?? The female port for the controller has 5 pins and one center pin, I'm hoping these GURUs here could come up with a suggestion to replace the original 5 pin female port with an alternate one that has a male 5 pin available on a "generic controller,",,,???? |

Most likely a quality (not Chinese) winch would have an available replacement controller. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

HF has wireless remotes available so that might be your best option. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |
