What winch does this in-cab remote switch wiring diagram apply to?

It is specifically for the Warn XD9000i winch with the 5-pin factory remote plug.

What type of switches are needed for this in-cab winch control setup?

A Master ON-OFF switch that is a Single Pole, Single Throw (SPST) lighted rocker (On–Off), and a Cable IN-Cable OUT switch that is a Double Pole, Double Throw (DPDT) momentary rocker (Mom On – Off – Mom On).

Where does the switch circuit get its power?

From an ignition-switched fuse in the vehicle fuse panel, carried on the white (Power/hot) wire.

Where does the winch remote circuit get its ground?

The brown ground wire runs to the motor ground at the winch, and a separate ground is shown for the lighted switch (labeled 'Gnd for Switch It').

This document is a hand-assembled wiring diagram for adding in-cab remote switches to a Warn XD9000i winch equipped with a 5-pin factory remote plug. It shows the winch mounted on the front of a vehicle, the 5-pin remote plug location, and a top view of the winch solenoid pack with the connector wiring routed to the motor ground. Four wire color codes are defined: Brown = Ground, Black = Out (cable out), Green = In (cable in), and White = Power (hot). Power for the circuit is taken from an ignition-switched fuse in the vehicle fuse panel. Two in-cab switches are illustrated with terminal connections: a Master ON-OFF switch, which is a Single Pole, Single Throw (SPST) lighted rocker switch (On–Off) with a ground connection for its indicator light, and a Cable IN-Cable OUT switch, a Double Pole, Double Throw (DPDT) momentary rocker (Mom On – Off – Mom On) with terminals labeled Cable In, OFF, and Cable Out. A reader can learn how to wire these two rocker switches to the winch's 5-pin remote connector so the winch can be operated from inside the cab, including which wire colors go to which switch terminals and where to source power and ground.
