Do you need to use a grommet when putting wires into a switch box?

If the box is metal then yes. Assuming by grommet you mean something that will protect the Non metallic wire from rubbing up against the metal edge of the box where the wire pulls through into the box. This is accomplished in one of two ways. Using a plastic "Grommet" as you are calling it which lines the hole and often grabs the wire, or by using a metal connector ring that lines the hole and grabs the wire and holds it into place. Some steel boxes come with a mechanism for grabbing the wire built into the box. That is all you need if your box comes with such a device. If not, you are supposed to install one yourself when you install the wire.
In practice you will find when you open metal switch boxes that often this wire protecting/securing device has been omitted or ignored. While you do find this situation often in the field, it is incorrect.

Can you change a single pole switch to adouble pole switch for your winch.I got a new switch single pole switch but think i needs a double which should be 2 wires in and 2 wires out?
Yes, you can change a single pole switch to a double pole switch for your winch. A double pole switch will have two input wires (live and neutral) and two output wires to control the winch operation. Make sure to follow proper wiring and safety guidelines when making the switch to ensure the correct function.
How do you wire dual switch-plug gfci which has extra wires?
To wire a dual switch-plug GFCI with extra wires, you need to identify the line and load wires. The line wires bring power to the GFCI, while the load wires carry power to additional outlets or devices. Connect the line wires to the line terminals on the GFCI and the load wires to the load terminals. Make sure to follow the wiring diagram provided with the GFCI and use wire connectors to secure the connections.
How do you remove the 3 wires from the back of a switch plate when they are tightly packed and will not budge?
Use a small screwdriver to carefully pry the wires away from the switch plate. If they are still stuck, you may need to cut the wires and re-strip them for a new connection. Always turn off the power before attempting to work on electrical components to avoid injury.
If there are two black and one white wire in ceiling light do I need to use both black for the switch to work?
If there are two black wires, it's possible that it was wired for a ceiling fan and that one of the wires is for the fan part while the other is for the light part. If so, one of the black wires may be switched while the other is always "on." Normally black is "hot" and white is "neutral" (NOT ground... ground is usually green).
How do you wire a new light with an on off switch using wires coming from another light?
You can wire the new light by connecting the wires from the existing light fixture to the new light fixture. You would connect the hot wire (typically black) to the hot terminal on the new fixture, the neutral wire (typically white) to the neutral terminal, and the ground wire (typically green or bare copper) to the ground terminal. You can then install the on/off switch in the circuit to control the power to both lights.

Once you locate the "hot" wire, touch other wires to make the other windows go up & down. As you do this use masking tape to label where and what each one does. (Such as "right rear down") Once you have all the wires labeled you'll be able to connect them to their respective positions on the switch.

Where do the wires go on a pressure switch you got two wires from the panel then two wires out to the pump?
A typical pressure switch has 4 contacts. You are switching 220 volts. When the switch is open the supply side and pump side are not connected to each other. So you just need to connect the two wires from supply to one side of the switch and the pump to the other. It doesn't matter which wire on a given side is connected to which terminal on that side.
