rob90 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I want to wire my front 8274 winch for in cab controls using a carling switch. on the solenoid pack and hand control there is 5 wires I have done the usual search and only come up with a 3 wire version. after waving the multi meter around i found out the following there are red wire = earth white wire = 12v+ green wire?? I think winch in brown wire?? I think winch out black wire?? I tried wiring without the unknown wire but no luck any one shed some light on this for me. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian M Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 the 8274 standard remote switches the earth aswell as the live, i had to put a permanent earth to the standard solenoids(simple wire from the earth on the bottom of the wire) then you just wire it like a normal solenoid to the carling switch.

Ian So if im reading this right, the unidentified wire just switches to earth? so if attach to the end of this wire and route to the earth on the motor? or am I being dumb?

Ian M Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 yeah where that wire goes onto the solenoid(i forget the colour now) take the 10mm nut off, make up a piece of wire with terminals on, one end on there, the other on the motor earth!
