I just bought a used Warn M8000, and I am using the factory A-Bar winch mount. Simply securing the four bolts was not a problem, from there I am stuck.
There are two wires that have loose ends. One is I would say a #2 guage that I would assume is the main wire to the battery. The other I would say is a #12 guage and has a label on it "not for ground". The latter is considerably shorter than the #2. There is also a bolt on the underside off-set from the spool. I have no idea what this is for and could only guess it is a ground? There are three short wires that run from the solenoid to the winch body, attached at both ends.
I attempted attaching the #12 to the bolt underneath the winch and running the #2 to the battery. This allowed me only to spool out. The winch would not spool in. When commanded to spool in the solenoid would make a considerable clicking noise.
I think that gives all the information I have. Id really appreciate your help. TIA

Tinkering with it a little more, I realized that the control is backwards. I looked at the control and when I am pusing towards spooling in, it is actually spooling out. This makes me think that something is backwards, but I do not know enough about electrical to determine that.
Thanks again for your help.

Thanks Marc, I actually just found the number on the winch itself and called. I am missing a wire and should have it sorted out here shortly. Thanks again. |
