Frax Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 They use 2 solenoids switching live and earth to change direction I think, it is fitted to a mates truck and I can not find a makers name on it. It started spooling in regardless of which button you pushed - any info on how these are wired would be great. As said there are only two posts on the winch motor which I find strange and no other signal wires. Do they switch the live between the two posts and use the winch body as an earth ?

Lewis Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Some older winches such as the Belleveiw, from which the warn 8274 descended, were one direction only - the motor powered in and you would freespool out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
