Northern Tool Ironton 12,000lbs winch 5 pi male on winch

[mattgroveton]

Tonight - Tonight I thought I made a good purchase of a close-out winch at Northern Tool. They had an Ironton brand 12,000 lbs winch on close-out. I think I now know why. Got home with it and no winch controller. The controller receptacle plug on the winch is a 5 pin male plug, obviously on the controller itself it has a 5 pin "female" plug. I've been looking for a new/used one on Ebay and Amazon and can't find anything like it. I don't know jack about winches. Bought this for a one time use situation. Since it has 5 pins do I have to buy a "like" 5 pin controller with that plug(s) configuration? Can't really locate any universal controller that I think will work? Any suggestions?

Does it look like this one? Look at the 4th photo down in the 1st link. This is a wireless remote kit from Harbor Freight. I just bought one for the winch in my enclosed trailer. Works as it should. Looking online, it appears there are people re-selling the Habor Freight wired remotes for basically the same price that you can buy this wireless controller kit for.....

I just did a good image search for winch controller, and this looks like it would fit:

I'm sure there are tons of workable options with some research. Most of these cheap items are common across brands because they're all made in the same factory by the CCP.
