HELP..winch wiring

[Goldey]

I have searched but to no avail.

Here is my problem. I have relocated my solenoid control box for my warn XD9000 under the bonnet of the Prado. No problems so far. However, as I have had the winch out of the car for about a year, all of the cables were disconnected and in a pile on the bottom of the box. I have managed to sort out all of the connections except two.

There are 4 cables running from the solenoid control box to the winch motor. The three heavy cable connections (two black, one red) are still connected to the winch motor (red to 'F1', black to 'F2' and another black to 'A'). I am assuming that the F1 and F2 are either side of the field winding and the A stands for armature. So far so good. Oh, the fourth cable from the winch motor is an earth that runs back to the solenoid pack (that's been figured out already). The problem I have is where these three heavy cables attach to in the solenoid pack??????

If anyone can help.....please.

Cheers

Earth goes from the motor back to the battery -ve, not the solenoid box.

The rest of the cables go as per my dodgy wiring diagram. If the motor goes the wrong way (ie runs cable in when you are pushing the out on the controller), just swap the F1 and F2 cables at either the control box or motor.

I'm in the same situation - sort of, i have a ramsey winch that i'm putting on the rangie and i want to move the relays from the overly large black box that houses them, while i'm at it what type of relays can i use to replace them with ? are they a fairl standard type ( higher rated ) relay ?
