hard wiring warn m8000

I'm trying to hardwire my warn m8000 as it didn't come with a wander lead but don't know exactly what i need or how i wire it, i was thinking that i could use some 6 core cable to connect to each wire on the solenoid then back to the cab with a relay and a switch?

thanks oli

tis easy ive got a switch on the front grill and a switch in the cab..get an old leccy window switch and use that..live in to the centre pin and then each live out for forward and reverse operation

so do i need a switch with only 3 pins? do i need a relay? i have a 5 or 6 pin plug, does this matter? and which wire go to which pin.

thanks for your help

One of these and you don`t need a relay.

Toggle Switch 16A SPDT (On)-Off-(On) Mom (SW406) | eBay

Or as WL says an old leccy window switch

ok thanks, what wires do i connect it from the solenoid as i have around 5 or 6?

You need to check which wires go 12v when you winch in and out. These are what you connect your switch wires to

how do i tell which wire is 12v, in and out? this is what I'm finding hard because if i get the wrong one it could do some damage.

Test light or a meter, if you have neither get someone to do it for you or find a wiring diagram for your solenoid

olim what solenoid do you have?

this may help

I've tried to do this today but i get nothing? i soldered the 6 core to the power, in and out and the attached them to the switch but nothing happens? would the solders not but a good enough connection or something else wrong?

It must be wired wrong somwhere has it got a good earth??

Like said before you have 2 solonoids both have a positive feed which when switched live spins the motor either forwards or backwards all you need is 3 wires one which is perm live for the centre of the switch then the two switched lives one to each solonoid if the winch is wired up and the earths are good it should work for you.

oh so i need a wire to 2 of the solenoids for the lives, I've just soldered it onto the live wire, would this be the problem and i have a block of 4 solenoids
