Found snap where you remove the seat. removed bags off the rear and easy to see. When you get old you tend to forget simple things. I guess I am old ! LOL
You take side panel off and mount it there ?There is room next to the shifter.

I tried and no clearance anywhere I tried to put it. Seat would hit it before it would go back on.Maybe I got lucky, but I found room under the hood of a relative's 07 Grizz 700 when I helped him install his winch.
Did same on my 450 too.
Under seat is easy though, glad you found. Seat is a good thing to know how to remove anyway ;-)
I’ve always mounted the (Warn) contactor on the back of the winch plate...![]()

My solenoid is corroded and fried because of water intrusion. It was mounted on the back of the winch plate. I am not a mud/water rider.. I could only imagine how soon it would have failed if I was. Maybe it was a fluky thing, but either way. I’ll never mount one there. Mine is in the dry storage box.

Same here, I've had 3 Grizzly's with all of the Warn contactors on the back side of the Warn winch mount.Hmmm... I’ve always opted for Warn winches, the other guys I ride with go with Warn and never had an issue with contactors getting wet... I want to say I remember one that failed, but it was several years old, maybe 6-7yrs?
Warn claims it’s a sealed unit.
Interesting...

It’s the first one I’ve had fail, and also the first one I’ve had mounted low on the winch plate.

I'm a little concerned... Not about the contactor, though. My heart skipped a beat or two when I saw the "Polaris" on your Warn winch. I quickly realized that this was most likely transplanted from another machine. However, I'd cover that word up asap. It may be a bad influence on other parts of your Griz. It may influence them to prematurely wear or break!!I mounted mine up high here and so far have not had any problems, and it's easy to get to. It was just to tight to install behind the winch mount.
