Warn winch controller wiring repair

[locopny]

Being a nice guy, I went to rescue a fella in a minivan out at the dump that got stuck in the snow here. Long story short is that I messed up my plug-in connector for the remote controller at the winch end on my HS9500i Warn. Thought I'd ask around to see if anyone had an old connector that I could purchase to repair mine, before I tried to find a new one somewhere online. Thought about using a plug in trailer connector unit to repair the controller end and then also run the control wiring to the dash for convience and still retain an external control. May be more unreliable than its worth?

did a bit of searching on this here and came to this link..http://classicbroncos.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1471190&postcount=8
maybe a bit more than I would need for my issue?

Thanks for any leads/advice on the wiring issue. Hopefully I will not have a next time.

what would be unreliable about using trailer style connections?
I use a 4 pin round for my old 8274.
cheap, easy to wire up, and as long as they are protected from corrosion shouldn't have any reliability issues

I don't know...that's why I was asking. I had a bad day getting stuck, unstuck, broke...and thinking about how to fix & get back up and going.

appreciate the reply ;D
