When installing the Superwinch LT2000 ATV Winch # 1120210 on atv's or offroad vehicles, the red wire on the rocker switch typically connects to a wire that gets power only when the ignition switch is turned on. When using this winch on a trailer or other application that does not have an ignition switch, you can just run it to the positive terminal on the battery that it is connected to and install a toggle switch in between so that you can switch the winch on and off, then actually control it with the included remote. I attached a wiring diagram and video for you.
