Abstract The invention provides in some embodiments, representative winches with dual mode remote control can include a frame, a cable drum rotatably supported by the frame, a drive motor operatively connected to the cable drum, and a control module positioned adjacent the cable drum. The control module can include circuitry to interface with a remote control via one of two modes. In a wireless mode, the control module can communicate wirelessly with a wireless remote control (e.g., a cell phone). In a wired mode, the control module can communicate with a wired remote control. When the wired remote control is connected to the control module, a jumper wire in the wired remote control's connector completes a ground path circuit in the control module to disable the wireless capability of the control module. Disabling the wireless capability of the control module when the wired remote control is connected to the winch prevents conflicting commands from a wireless remote control that may be in the vicinity of the winch.
