    Guten tag,

    I'm wanting to put an in-cab switch for my winch. Not a problem there. The problem is I'm trying to locate an OEM-sized switch that'll fit in the panel under the HVAC controls. I'm all switched-out on the left side of the steering wheel, so that's a no-go.

    So it'd be a DPDT momentary switch sized 32.5x22mm (cut-out). I emailed CH4x4 to see if they'd make one for me and haven't heard back yet. I was hoping to find a back-up option in case CH gives me an answer in the negative.

    Gracias.

    Cool. Thanks. Work doesn't like their site for some reason. I'll look at home.

    I think those are only power switches, from his description I think he wants to run the winch in and out (DPDT) from inside via a hard switch in dash...?

    Correct. I don't see something that will work on their site. May be missing it.

    Also discovered that Mitsubishi switches should work. But apparently they don't need winches.
