- Red small wire to large center post with large Red Cable is the power wire to the handheld controller or wireless receiver plug, and the large Red Cable is coming from the battery.
- Two black wires to the center small post would be ground
- The white (left hand small post) and the blue (right hand small post) are energized with positive to either retract or extend the winch.
Questions and Diagnose Tools:
Does the winch/solenoid ONLY click when trying to power out? (Could be if powering IN if the symptom was the revere direction)?
- If the solenoid ONLY clicks in one direction and works perfect in the other direction, issue could be the solenoid need replacement.
- If the solenoid only clicks in both directions, double check ALL wire and cable connections.
- Double check the Battery is fully charged and has 12 volts and the amperage in the battery to power the winch.
Second diagnosing process to confirm if the solenoid needs replacement
-
- Change the White and Blue wire on the solenoid, (BE VERY CAREFULL) this will reverse the winch’s direction. OUT will now be coming IN and IN will now be going OUT. But this will confirm if the solenoid has a one directional pole/contact failure.
