    Thank you for this, worked great on my Texas pride. Factory wanted $600 for a wireless controller.

      $600 !!!! Whoa! Glad you were able to get it done yourself!

    that's awesome!! thanks for sharing. I just ordered my wireless controller, and Diodes. should be an easy install thanks to your video.

    You commented that the diodes are to prevent backfeeding into the wired pushbutton controller. My understanding was that they are to prevent both solenoids from being energized simultaneously?????

    Thanks for posting. What amp size in-line fuse did you use? Also what size diodes did you use?

      I was wondering the same thing about the fuse. I have the same set up and I used a 15 amp diode

    Wandering if anyone knows that the wireless receiver has a continuous amp draw and will run your battery down if you don't put in some sort of a power cut off switch to the hot lead of the wireless receiver. This can also be done without the diodes by using fused relays.
    I did a 300 amp Blue Sea battery cut off switch that disconnects all power to everything except for the DC to DC charger from the truck and Solar input charger to the battery.

      I would assume there is going to be some type of low power draw that the receiver uses as it’s searching for input from the remote. This is the reason I installed a the trip style fuse with on off switch. I leave it off until I get to where I’m dumping. I also don’t know if there are any devices (frequencies l) that might trigger the receiver to lift the dump while I’m driving…. I don’t have must trust in these cheap Amazon devices, but it has worked flawless time after time. People still look at me with that confused look as I’m backing in and the dump is already going up. In and out quick, especially if it’s an extra smelly day at the city dump.

    Any idea what brand or style of circuit breaker that is? I'm having issues finding that style.. Seems like all the ones on amazon are push button reset only, not actual on/ off.

    Does your solenoid click fast and repeatedly while you press up? My solenoid clicks really fast as it moves up. My down feature is fine

    • @mw3designs

      My solenoid clicks only once to activate and stays on continuously as the button is pressed on both my wired and wireless controller. Does this happen to you when using both wired and wireless?

      20 amp might be a bit high, the circuit is low amp, it is just for tripping the relay that transfers the big power. I would say 10 or 15amp is plenty. I only used the push button type breaker because I had one laying around, and it was easier than an inline fuse and a on off switch. I like the idea of turning it off when not in use, as I don’t know if and how much of a power draw the wireless box has.
