Winch owners, listen up!
If your socket connector is acting up or the dust cover's seen better days, this replacement assembly will get you back in action.

This thing fits Gen2 97495 and 97412 XRC 9500 and 12000 winches perfectly - it's like it was made for them (because it was!).
The silver-toned connector comes with a black rubber dust cover that actually protects your electrical connections from mud, water, and general off-road abuse.

It measures about 17.3cm long with various connection points sized between 0.6cm and 3.1cm.

Made from quality plastic, metal, and rubber materials that won't rust or corrode on you.

Installation is straightforward - just swap out your old, worn-out connector and you're good to go.

It's one of those parts you might not think about until you need it, but having a reliable connection can make all the difference when you're stuck and need your winch to work.
Keep this in your toolbox as a spare, or install it now for peace of mind.
Either way, it's a smart move for anyone who depends on their winch when things get rough.
