I am working on a semi-hardwire for the winch on the beast. It has 6 (six) wires leading into the switch.

Red
White - Hot when winch is plugged into power
Green - Hot when spooling in
Blue - Goes straight to the back of the "overheated" LED light
Brown
Black - Hot when spooling out

Here is a diagram of the back of the switch.



There is three wires going into the back of the LED. The blue goes straight in, there is a red jumper coming from it's own terminal, and a white jumper coming from the white terminal (which is the power wire). I am thinking that the blue wire is a 'ground' that grounds out when the motor gets hot. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I am using a 6-pin 'gooseneck' trailer light plugs to split the lead so that I can connect to the switch on the 12volt guy panel. I will get pictures of this setup once installed.
