Per Champion customer service. You have to replace whole remote unit. Call see if it is still covered under warranty. These units come with disposable (cheap) switch for occasional use.

happy St.Pats okay 1st thing does yours look the same,2nd is to ask a dealer what years the remote works for(chances are it does but remember you have to program it everytime you change the battery & of course the first time to get it to function,so don't throw the instructions away,store as a pdf,3rd buy the cheapest possible there all the same just in case it doesn't work you can email me & I will buy it from you amazon please include my email address (oilcan241@aol.com) so now your O.K.steve

The plug will not fit but I just cut the end off and hard wired it to your soloniods. I found this more reliable. I've done this to all my winches wether the plug fit or not it also alows you to use your old remote when your remote battery dies

Ditto, worked great initially. No one In town knows how to fix mine.My husband watched the lift brushes and noticed they were not moving up and down so he ftled a little bit of the plastic and it is working now.However we wait every day for it to die.

sounds like you have had some bad luck. I've had mine for 3 yrs, have moved twice during that time and have never had any issues with the remote or the tv for that matter. Sorry. :-(

My original remote worked fine for at least 3 years. It did not stop working until my granddaughter washed it. At that time I ordered another off of Amazon.com and it has also been working well.

I do not think that this remote will work since the plug for the winch remote appears to be round on the 8275 where as it is somewhat oblong on the newer series winches. You probably could modify a wired 8274 remote to accept th remote you would just have to some cutting and soldering. I think it would be a pretty strait forward projects though. Good luck!

I haven't had such a problem, but I have experienced sluggish or incorrect response to the button control which was solved with the remote use. If your buttons work & you have after purchase warrantee, I would suggest using the warrantee to repair. If buttons work but not the remote then question the remote performance. Sorry I'm not more help. I have, however, purchased 4 units for myself and others and had issues twice that had to be resolved thru warantee use. Good Luck!

I hope this is the issue I'm having. I've already had the technician out last week to replace the main board for this problem. The remote seemed to have worked for 5 minutes, like you said, and literally as he was leaving my driveway I tried to change the source and the remote didn't work again! I was so frustrated, and thanks to you I will be geared up with this information so perhaps he can fix it this time!

Try flipping the battery over! I had mine in upside down! Otherwise call the company. My sister got a replacement remote for a different product from them.

I had a remote that stop working, I changed the battery, still did not work. I order a new one. Sometimes thing just goes out. Good luck.

I haven't had to change mine yet. Had similar frustration with another remote and took it to Batteries Plus franchise and they figured it out. Chances are it will need a battery they sell and not available at Home Depot, etc. That's my suggestion.

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.
