The covers for the switches have broken off exposing the button for people to accidently engage while sitting there. I am looking for anyone who has been able to find a replacement switch or cover. The switches are activated by air to a sensor switch at the motor. I have drilled holes in the remaining switch covers to allow me to control the winch without having to open the cover exposing it to more damage but I would like to find the source of the cover/switch.

The switches likely came with the winches, so if they are Harken, go to Harken.

Thanks for the link. I researched these before but they seem to be connected via wire. The ones that I have use a puff of air to activate the switch. I will purchase some and see if I can modify to fit my units.

I purchased from Harken and they came with a switch attached to the cover which sends an electrical current to the control box. The unit I have activates the switch mounted near the winch using a puff of air through a long tube. I returned to Harken and have sent an email to their tech guys asking where I can find these older models. Does anyone have one from the early 2000's that might be like what I have?

I guess this means they don’t just sell a replacement button pad and cover? My actual switch and wiring are fine. I would prefer not to mess with that.
