Need help finding where I can buy a control switch for a dump truck

Premier6213 · Mar 12, 2010

Hi, I have looked all over, talked to several parts stores and googled a 100 different ways to find what I am looking for. I have a 1 ton ford diesel dually with an all metal dump body. It has an electric motor that runs the dump bed. Recently It got stuck in the air and after a gentleman jump started the solenoid he said it looked liked my control switch was bad. Not a problem I though. BIG PROBLEM!!! I cant find anyone who sells a control switch. My switch is simple. It is orange with an UP button and a DOWN button. probably about 6" in length. Can anyone please direct me in the right direction. This is a standard control that I have seen on hundreds of small dump trucks like mine. Thanks for you help.

Most standard electric winch(8000lb) remote switches can be used as they have the same solenoids. You can also use two normally open push buttons mounted in the dash, one up, t'other down....
