I have a Smittybilt XRC 8000 winch and need a new remote for it. It powers out, but not in. I can put a paper clip in the winch wire connector holes and make it work. So I know it is the remote and not the winch.
I see some of the other brands of winches have remotes for sale on EBAY and other sites. But I can't find one for Smittybilt. They don't list them on the Smittybilt home page. Does anyone know who makes Smittybilt? Someone told me T-Max, and someone else said Milemarker. Does anyone know if most winches use the same size connector for their remotes so another brand would work? Or better yet, does anyone know a place that sells remotes for Smittybilts? Or have one laying around that they want to sell?

 

Funny.......mine powers in, but not out. I'd love an answer to this one also. I sent an email to Smittybilt weeks ago but so far, no answer.

 

We sell that remote, it is part # 97281-50. It is $19.99. Give me a ring to order it.

 

Just found my remote basically cut in half under my backseat, guess the seat brackets did it when folded them down

Did a search for a replacement but $40+ with shipping seems stiff
Are they still $19.99 bustabiz at 4wd did a search with part number with no luck.

 

Ordered it from Bryan, 19.99 total, and IT SHOWED UP THE NEXT DAY!

 

My winch controller stopped working also. I gutted it and installed a single 3 way momentary switch that I got from Napa. I shouldn't have that problem again.

 

I installed a 3 way momentary switch inside the cab. Now that I hear the remote gives out, I'm glad I installed the switch even more now.

 

I don't think the give out, mine was crushed under the backseat.
