Wireless winch controller

If it's about Power Wagons, all generations, this is where it'll go. This is the original PWR Forum Power Wagon Technical Discussion Section. And this includes everything that doesn’t fit in any one of the other categories related to the truck goes here!

Quick question (I'm electronically challenged)- do we have to install the jumper cable that comes with the control or is it truly a plug the bastard in and go?

The new ones just plug into the piece you plug your wired controller in at beside the winch and acts as a reciever for the wireless remote. So it's truly plug and go. You could just di-electric grease the plug and then plug it in and leave it in there permanently but you risk it falling out in harsh conditions, so best to just leave them both in the center console until you need them.

Cool- that's what I thought but it also has a jumper cable included in the box so I wasn't sure.
