help wiring a wireless remote setup for winch box.
Posted: Mon Mar 03, 2014 3:59 pm
Hey guys,
I have a wireless remote setup to use on my warn winch. But wiring it up as per instructions don't work.
Anyone know where the wires go so that I can use both the wireless and the warn hand control as a back up.
I have a warn VR12000 (import model BUT same setup as most) Its a 5 pin.
The wireless has the usual 4 wires. The instructions show how to set it up on a 3 pin not a 5 pin.
RED
BLACK
YELLOW
WHITE.
(Blue being the antenna)
I know the red connects to the battery terminal on the relay post... thats connected.
The instructions tells me that the black connects to the original earth wire comming from the 5 pin ( that original black wire connects to the earth bolt on the winch motor with the negative battery cable) So thats where I have it ATM. but im not sure thats where it should go.
Both the yellow and the white wires are winch IN and winch OUT ( or so i am assuming thats what the are).
Problem is, when i wire it up nothing happens. Done lots of google searches and some suggest they have had to bridge a brown wire to allow the controller to work but I dont want to try that incase i blow things up.
I will attach pictures showing you my control box setup
All I need is someone to tell me where to wire up the wires comming from the wireless receiver box and where they need to be connected to.
I have spoken to 2 local auto sparkies and both have never done one so I dont want to leave the car with them. I know a few of you guys have purchased this ebay wireless setup and hooked it up so im just hoping one of you will read this post and tell me where I need to connect the wires.
Thanks in advance guys.
This is my exact setup including wire colours and location.... UPDATE.... just read a comment from a search site in USA, guy said .. "you must ground the soleniods (brown wires) and apply power (+) to the winch in/out for it to work". This is an added safety feature with warn 5 pin models. Does this make any sense to u guys and if so.. hows that done
