Hi,
Firstly, apologies for reviving such an old thread.
A friend produced his Defender yesterday with one of these 9500i winches fitted to it which appears to have a fault. Before I dive in, can someone please confirm that:
1/ The -ve side of the Field coil s via the chassis and this expalins why there is not thick black wire in evidence?
2/ Going on from LandyManLuke's post, that the action of the 'in' and 'out' controller is to switch the +12V main feed from the battery to either one of the motor's Field terminals (green or yellow) to effect 'forward' and 'reverse' and so implying that there is a separate 'forward' and 'reverse' Field coil where both coils have a common -ve side connected (as above) to the chassis?
3/ Lastly, that the -ve end of the Armature coil also is connected to the chassis, again, hence no -ve connection terminal?
BTW, I can confirm that (referring to the OP's 4th photo) that:
Motor terminal top left = thick yellow
Motor terminal top right = thick red
Motor terminal bottom left = thick green
Motor terminal bottom right = thin black (Or, that's how its wired on this one!).
Thanks very much.
