Took the alloy bar off for the last time, to trim it a tad more and connect wiring to winch.
very happy with the outcome,
now time for a break away for a few days.
will then be connecting the wiring in cab next week.
Humm, looking at the wiring on solenoid something could be wrong.
The factory fitted cables to the solenoid ,which are colour coded, are not connected to the numbered post as the manual states.
Yellow is on post number 1, & Red is on post number 3.
But manual clearly shows and written, has them the other way around.
I rang supplier and they said, its ok we test every winch.
but I' not so convinced the solenoid is tested also, every nut and bolt has not been touched ex factory ie-not a mark on em.
Any input welcome, have no experience with this type of solenoid before.
Its a Domin8r 12000lb winch package DSCF8577.JPG DSCF8583.JPG.
Well I rang em again, hoping to talk with someone else.
This time

"yes the instructions are clearly wrong it's also covered buy a 5 yr warranty, your covered , fit it as supplied and it will be ok ( don't you guys test winch on a test bench) no we even test the solenoid with the winch" end quote.
I hope this helps others having the same problem.DSCF8566.JPG
I can't see the pic clearly on my phone but it is likely that they are F1 & F2 anyway so they will just be direction and there is no risk to anything.just the switch direction.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
Yeah I had that line of thought also.
My fear was connecting in a way it should not be, and I'm multiplying a potential problem by increasing the cable size to 50mm from 35mm square.
Any way of a breaker or something in the install ?,
I have not seen anything available.
I've updated the previous pics
This is the solenoid you have there I think and is the same one I have on my GUIV.

Here it is again, I tried to get a better source image.
Here is a screen zoom on my iPhone from the original image on the forum.

Yep it helps.
So much so I saved your winch build pics a while ago for ideas for Pat
My Hid boxes are stored in that hole, may locate near brake booster me thinks.
from memory I approximated "your" cable measurements also.
So thanks to you also.
