    I'm feeling like I may have outsmarted myself here, I already wired in the rocker switches for in-cab winch control, and now that I'm getting to installing the winch I'm noticing I don't have a good way to wire it all into the solenoid box.

    Ideally I'm looking for a 5-pin connector or pigtail like what's on the end of the controller that comes with the winch, since I'm pretty sure what I really need to do is get my existing wiring connected into that port in the proper arrangement (that part I can figure out when I've got the part). Winch is a Smittybilt, so I'm pretty sure I need the female connector/pigtail.

    Google/Amazon haven't been terribly helpful so far, although I do know a half dozen places I could spend a bunch of unneccesary $$ on a wireless unit now... Does anyone know where such parts can be purchased?

    just splice into the factory wires, no need for a harness.

    Find yourself a complete water proof plug heavy enough to carry the load (male /Female ) and wire it up.

    You might need to source the plug from Smittybuilt it could be made just for them or spend days searching.

    Much easier to just buy a complete plug and wire it up.
