They should work, all you have to do is get the new receiver with the 5 pins installed inside your control box, I just did mine works perfectly

Nice for some reason mine stopped working wirelessly light comes one on the remote but won’t work. Works with the cord tho I might have to order a replacement.

Your wireless receiver might have come loose inside your control box. Mine was just flopping around in there when I opened mine up.

I don't know if you've had to replace batteries or not but in the manual it says after replacing batteries the reciever must be matched to the remote. It says with reciever connected to winch and remote turned on press reciever button to turn on red light immediately press in or out on remote if red light goes out it's matched up. If it stays on the match failed and to press reciever button again and try same thing.
