How to wire a winch
« on: March 26, 2008, 11:22:25 PM »
All right here we go... I bought a 2500 pound Champion winch for the REAR of my kick, not as my main winch. It is made for a quad so the controller they give you has battery power going to it, and from there it goes to the winch. What I want to do is hook the power wires to solenoids (I assume I will need 2, to power cable in and out) and the use the switch they provided to power (send signal) to the solenoids. Here are a couple picture of what I am talking about. The first pic is the control, the second is the control with the cover off, the third is how the power is hooked up, the wires with the white shield on them are from the battery(power in) the two without are to the winch(power out) and the last pic is what the switch looks like inside. If any one knows how to wire this up PROPERLY can you tell me how or even draw it out, easier to follow...lol
Thanks
