Ok so I went to use my winch at the Kinzalow's run in TN to pull an H3 out of some trouble only to realize it did not work. Not a good time to find out your winch is not working. Anyway...
After some trouble shooting I found out that the controller plug on the bumper was corroded so bad one of the pins on the inside was rusted completely out. I am assuming it was due to road salt working it's way into the plug as sometimes the cover will fall off.
You can see from my pic on the original install in January how bad the road salt blasts the front of the truck. Well it only takes one day of salt blasting into the plug to cause it it rust out quickly.

So I took the H1 controller plug and applied it to the H2. Take a look.
