A simple wiring question

[Brian N]

I am planning to hook up a winch to the back of the truck (2001 Ram 2500). It is a simple winch that will be removable and attached to the hidden hitch. This winch is simply to pull wood from a wood pile to the back of the truck, not to be used for pulling out of mud or anything heavy and hard.
Now, my question is, is there a simple way to wire this? Other than running wires from the engine bay to the back? For example, is there a way I could wire it through the 4-pin or 7-pin connectors?
This winch does have a quick disconnect plug as well.
Thanks for any input.

If you wire it to the 4 pin you will have to have your park lights on for it to work.

If you wire it to a factory 7 pin, I believe there is a constant hot on one pin, you could use a switch.

Here ya go.
