So I went out with the truck last weekend and discovered a problem... Need one hand to steady the ground anchor and the other for the winch remote, means I can only winch the length of the remote wire.
Question is has anyone wired in their own wireless remote? Got a 9500lb terrain tamer, currently has the 3pin plug wondering if I can order one off aliexpress and wire it in.
The winch on my quad came with a wireless remote.
So there must be plenty around.
Cheers

Was up lake Daniels and a guy was using one on his prado, would come in bloody handy. Had to get a mate to hold ground anchor in place which I used remote from inside truck. If I was on my own it could have been a bit of s problem
The remote kit just wires into the relay .
It was pretty simple to fit.
Cheers

@Beaker, saw them but didn't know if they werefor a specific winch or a general purpose one
gp. 12v/24v. will all be general purpose, just need to match the colors :)
A multi meter or test lamp and you'll sort it. or a trip past timaru and i'll sort it for you.
12v though I do have a 24v battery set up. I'm sure I can sort it, don't think I'll b going past Timaru anything soon but thanks for the offer
Let me know which one you go for and how much dramas it ends up being wiring it up. I'd quite like to do this on my wee Warn on the zuki....Quote:

Haven't ordered it yet, been busy chasing goats round the hills!Quote:

Yeah can only set it at bout 2m if I'm on my own, kinda uselessQuote:

A mate has a trail Maxx that he likes so emailed them, they can't say it will work with my terrain tamer winch. Tried the guys that installed the winch, they don't have anything and thought terrain tamer has stopped doing winch parts.
Anyone else got a terrain tamer winch and can tell me a brand of remote that works?
Most winches are generic when it comes to the pendant control and the remote unit should be the same. Sounds like the solenoid is engaging but not the motor relay, best check your earth connection.Quote:

My Pajero has a 9500lb Terrain Tamer in it. It doesn't even have a corded controller just a little box/reciever that plugs into where I assume the corded controller would normally plug in and a wireless remote

Can't remember off the top off my head but can't of been to hard as I had done it.
If you get stuck this should tug you out:thumbsup:. Seriously 223nut, you can pull up the drive pull mine apart and follow the wiring pattern if needed.

One like Ryan's would be a good option, KH I don't think it's so much a problem with the wiring (I tried a fair few options assuming black - and red + but it's probably different where ever it was made....) Will try it with a better earth later today. Paid $50 for the one off trade me and see the one on trail Maxx is $140 so suspect I brought a dude
I'll watch on 223nut.

[ATTACH]179889 this is my remote receiver same hand piece . I remember the instructions were dodgy and it took a bit to work out .
As mentioned, the clicking says the solenoids are working so I'm going with the earth fault too.
Good luck, electricity is a demon. Just don't let the black smoke out of the wires or nothing will work.
Looks like I'm going to have to buy another one after this one got left out in the rain.... oops
The plug on controller is working fine so it's an issue with the wireless set up. Tried using the multimeter on it and got nothing coming out of it when trying either in or out buttons. Pretty sure I got a dude

Now what you do with that ‘ dude’ is up to you!;)
A semi flat battery in the remote has a huge effect on themQuote:

Had a quick look at it but it doesn't have an easy access compartment, need to take 4 screws out to get into it. But good idea... Will check that if the new one misbehavesQuote:

Have you tried Traxion in Auckland? They import a lot of winches.
@Ryan_Songhurst are there any names or numbers on yours? Seems like terrain tamer have stopped doing winch's and no one has any of the old parts laying round.
Try toolwharehouse listing 3275243416 on turdme thats what I use
Have ordered a different brand one off trade me as a last ditch attempt. That doesn't work I'll have to wire in an 'extension cord' the the existing plug in remote
Well the 2nd universal one showed up, wired it up and first tru it's working, even got the in/out round the right way!
Already happened... Hammer to get it apart, pinged open the relays and they were fried, mate has done a work around then and soldered it up so he can use it nowQuote:
