Wiring Winch

[klrevo]

hey guys,

as some might have seen here:

i had one fo the wires outta the back of the plug break off, and i replaced it with a caravn style plug. im putting this here in the hope that someone might know, cos i didnt get much back from the toher thread.

- the winch works fine when wired with the remote

- the winch works fine when wired trhough the power window switch

- the winch does not work fine through the remote when both are wired together, the power window switch inside the car works, but all i get from the remote is the clicking of the solenoids.

- heres how i have it wired together, sorry for it being so dodgy hopefully you guys get it



so i have the remote wired up as the normal way, and then have wired the switch into the back of the female plug on the control box. This works a treat with the power window switch, but when the remote is plugged in it doesnt work, only the solenoids click but no winch action, and the switch inside the cab still works... i thought that having them running inline would have worked, is there something im missing??? i took it all apart today again to check that i had all the correct wires joined with one another, and i did, but yes still the same thing, they both work fine by themselves, but not together...

whats the deal???

I would say you need to wire the controller and internal switch to the same side of the solenoids, ie in your drawing switch should be connected to the right solenoid instead of the left.

Ok, i just re read your post, so if you disconnect the controller from how its wired in the diagram the switch works and vice versa ?

yeh thats correct loanrangie, if i run just the switych it works, if i run just the controller it works, when i run them inline with each other only the switch works and all i get from the controller is the solenoids clicking. im gonna grab just a normal on/off/on rocker switch and see how i go with that, because at the moment the power window switch had 5 wires coming from it green/black/red/black/blue, though im only using green/red/blue as an on/off/on and it works fine by itself, i just dont know why it would make any difference when theyre wired together...

thanks for the help though

a much simpler system would be to










































go and buy yourself a PTO winch

5 speed spooling, massive drum, endless torque on tap, and no duty cycle.

Priceless!!
