hey guys on my patrol it has a winch on it which was already fitted by the previous owner however it is not wired in and has no controller but seems to have a socket on it for a controller. it has a BBD tuff sticker on it with the model code ew-9500 which when i google it comes up with Tmax winch. is there anychance i can get a controller for it from somewhere or better yet wire in to a 3 way toggle switch.

You can buy a universal controller with lead. All you need to check is your wiring on your winch. Pay particular attention to the forward and reverse activating relays and wires.
