Does Yamaha include and undocumented, preinstalled lead-out on their wiring harness to connect a winch to?

Thus far I have located a lead-out under the hood in the middle a two-wire lead out that is switched with the ignition. These are small wires for a low draw device. A similar lead out is located at the rear center of the of the Rhino below the tailgate.

Any help/experince on winch wiring is appreciated.

2zgoot,

In all my searching over the last year for my money pit, I came across these guys and they seem to have anything and everything in regards to winches for ATV and UTV. They should be able to answer any questions you have.

Good Luck

Thanks for the posts. Now easy prewired lead out has been identified yet.

Alex-there is a blue and a brown wire dead center in the back with a male and female coupler. One of the leads is switched witht he ignition and works great for a plate light.

In the front dead center under the hood, near the battery box, behind the cross bar is a similar male/femal coupling (wore colors are black & brown). This wire is also switched and works well for a horn.

Neither of which are large enough to power a winch.

Rock-Thanks for the post... good info. Apparently, a direct wire to the battery is the only option.

Rhino on!!

i have a warn winch installed when i bought mine...ill take some dirty pics right now of the wiring. i have taken the winch off though

i know its a mess under here...cleaning up the wiring will be a priority when i get my 2nd battery in.

there is just a power and ground (red and black) that go to the battery
a blue and yellow that go to the winch
and the switch is two small wires that plug in....

i dont know if this is what you were looking for
