bishbosh Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I am in the midst of wiring in an external "bitch switch" for my front winch and just need to confirm that the three wires I need to piggy back on the solenoid (albright) are: - In -Out - Positive Is that correct? Ta muchly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 from the 3 spade terminals on the side of the albright, that's all I did when fitting my right hand remote handset socket. marked as 1,2,3 on this diagram http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=251 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 Are you sure? That would be in, out and earth? Rather than in, out and live? There is also a note on that diagram mentioning the white wire from the remote going to live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Mine is the two outer connections on the albright and to positive not earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Charles, you have earth to middle pin, and two switched lives to the other two terminals, 99.9% this is how I wired it up Connect the switch to feed 12V to one or the other outside terminals for in/out depending on position, and as the centre terminal is earthed already there is nothing else to connect So take a 12V fom the solenoid to the switch, and the switched outputs to the outside terminals, job done. Hope that makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 Eh? The switch only has three terminals! Your first and last sentences contradict each other. I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Oh, they don't, but here goes again Take a 12V feed to the switch and connect the switch outputs to the outer terminals of the bank of 3 on the solenoid. So to answer original Q, yes, you need in, out, +ve. +ve to input to switch 'in' to output pin of switch one way 'out' to output pin of switch the other way. Centre pin of Albright is grounded. *cough* If you have difficulty now, then I'd be worried! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuko Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 - In-Out - Positive (To the switch) Is that correct? Ta muchly That's how mine is wired. Todd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 Oh, they don't, but here goes again Oh, yes it does! It is an external switch, not one of the dash switches! So to answer original Q, yes, you need in, out, +ve. Wow! I got some electrickery right!! Thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Oh, yes it does! It is an external switch, not one of the dash switches! Understood! It still makes sense to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
