How well would this switch hold up against water/mud/snow? It is for an ATV

The harness itself is a great harness that can hold up to the elements, but the switch is a little rinky dink one. They leave you just enough room to cut the wires right behind the original switch and make yourself a new one. I would highly suggest wiring a new switch as it would not hold up against the elements and has a light on at ALL TIMES indicating on or off.

The harness itself would be fine. It's shrouded by heat shrink and heavy duty enough. The switch itself is not. It is a simple lit momentary button. You could easily replace the switch with one of your choice.

I bought 3 for my truck 2 are essentially broken and barely function just from normal on off use.only reason the third isn't broke is becuase nothing is hooked up to it. My bet would be you get 3 days of use out of them on an atv. I will not buy anymore of these. Would rather have the confidence that the more $$ ones bring (standard toggle)

I've not actually used the switch but I wouldn't trust it for that purpose. Dirt could get inside it and the switch itself doesn't appear to be waterproof.

I think it would be ok only thing is you might have to put a toggle switch on it later .

Mine has given me no problem at all and it gets wet a lot. For the price a guy could have a couple on hand!

I have this winch on my Polaris Sportsman, The winch mounts low and I have had lots of problems with water and corrosion. It is a good powerful unit just not good for wet location.

I agree that SPST water proof type switch is the way to go if installed outside. I used a fuse right off the battery positive to switch. You can also piggy back a fuse off your ignition to make sure lights turn off when key is positioned off. Hope this helps, good luck. They are awesome LED lights too.

probably not to good.the bootom rails already broke due to wind.I don't think it would hold up toany amount of snow

I used this switch on my John Deere L120 and it worked fine. The original switch had heated to the point of melting. I also had to replace the blade clutch. There was still a problem with a connector that was not making good contact that I found by moving wires and connectors until I heard the clutch click. I'm not sure the switch was really bad or if it was the connector on down the line the whole time.

I used it that way as long as you don't exceed the amp rating of the switch. I also added a JT&T; Products (2652F) - Toggle Switch Position Indication Cover, Red to it. When the cover is down, I know the switch is off at just a glance. I'm a retired USAF mechanic and the aircraft style cover looks cool on the dash.

Seems to work fine to me. I have setup on gravel and dirt. I could potentially see it possibly slipping in really wet conditions etc, but hasn't happened to me yet.

I have not waterproofed the winch, I have used it in the snow, rain and no issues.

Not sure but you will need a mounting plate. The best advice I can give you is to spring for a better winch. Mine gave out the 3rd time I used it. The switch burned out under normal use

Mine is not waterproof. The switch is not covered and would easily leak water.

Should work fine. I used this to replace the wireless remote that went bad on my Badlands winch. Easy to wire up. I would recommend putting the control box under the seat where it will see very little moisture as it is not completely water proof.

I bought this to use for my fog lights on my car an have had it for about two years an have not had any problems. I think this is a very good Switch.

I pull a 250 ATV on there on going 75-80...need to reinforce the fenders though.

I used this harness on my atv it works well the relay had given me flickering problems if it gets to wet. So not to sure about waterproof you may not get as wet on a motorcycle. I ended up cutting the relay out and just using the in line fuse. Hope this helps

Yes, Unit is water proof! I have one on my trolling unit up from and another mounted on my console, in all types of weather - haven't had any problems!

I have one on my pickup for about five years and it is still working. If the working amperage isn't outrageous, such as a short in the wiring ,the switch doesn't know if it is operating a step, a door a louver, so my answer is yes, it will do the job for you...Z.T.I just read some of the feed back. On these steps, the pin switch is to deactivate the step when it is not in use, not to use it to up and down the step.

I have this mounted on my pontoon boat and its exposed to rain all the time with no issues. This is a well made heavy duty switch.
