DCruiser138 04-08-2002, 02:26 PM what do i do to run thius beotch!? i figure the hot battery wire goes to the left/bottom post. do i run a ground too? im guessing no because its all metal and ground to the bumper with the mounting...but im an idiot so...:rasta: http://www.rivercityrockcrawlers.com/~dcruiser138/images/8274wires.jpg DCruiser138 04-08-2002, 02:27 PM anutha shitty pic... http://www.rivercityrockcrawlers.com/~dcruiser138/images/8274wires2.jpg DCruiser138 04-08-2002, 02:27 PM ---also...is there a way i can check to see if a seleniod is bad? the prev owner said one is bad... how do i check with an ohm meter???:rasta: Kendo 04-08-2002, 03:19 PM As you look at it, run the main hot from the battery to the left lower post, yes. There should be a cutout for it in the solenoid mounting plate. I spoke with Warn several years ago about the ground, the tech told me to run a ground from the motor case to a good ground with some heavy guage wire. I pulled one of those loonngg bolts from the motor, scraped the paint off and ran a 2 guage wire to the frame. As for solenoid checking, I dunno. DCruiser138 04-08-2002, 05:11 PM k i got it goin...but is this winch supposed to spool in reverse? it fukin pulls hard and FAST:eek: but doesnt spool out with the motor...just free spool and i hafta pul it with my hand. is that right?:confused: :rasta: 92xj 04-08-2002, 05:32 PM No, it should spool out under power too - that's where the dead solenoid is. I think power out uses the lower left and upper right, so one of those is bad. DCruiser138 04-09-2002, 01:40 PM well i replaced all of them so they all should work. their all brand new. so is there a wiring diagram or sumthin i could look at???:rasta: --- also..it makes the click noise like its trying too...but it just makes the noise no reverse movement. Kendo 04-09-2002, 02:44 PM If it's clicking, it still sounds like a bad solenoid. What did you replace them with? Hopefully not starter solenoids. I tried that (cheap bastard) and it worked OK for a little while but not long. I wound up replacing them with Warn solenoids. Works great now. EDIT: Oh yea, almost forgot. You only use one side of the solenoid too, I forget whether it's the "I" or the "S". Those are the terminals that the control wires go to. DCruiser138 04-09-2002, 08:48 PM ya you better believe i used starter soleniods! that sux...what went wrong with ytours? did they fry or what? the ones i put in were brand new... they cant be bad!:rasta: 92xj 04-10-2002, 09:20 PM Hey, DC, the warn solenoids are only about $12 a piece. Just buy those and get some extras for trail spares, that's what I did. | |
