The split in the power in/out in the diagram, as ben-e mentioned, is the in/out switch which you can mount in the dash somewhere for in-cab controls. I used a momentary double pole double throw (DPDT) toggle switch for mine. To wire it to your existing controller plug you need to figure out which wire in the plug corresponds. Eg.

    Depends on the solenoids you currently have. The albright are a great sealed low maintenance solenoid that is reliable. The old style warn 4 solenoid pack in mine were unreliable and it needed 2 for in and 2 for out. Only required 1 solenoid to be on the fritz and it was done. They were expensive to replace as well so upgrading to a newer style solenoid made sense.

    They are a solid state relay, they have no moving parts to fail, no contacts to pit or burn out. The down side to SSR's is they don't 'play up' as such. They work and then they don't.

    Thanks. Makes more sense now. So no use in me putting one on my winch since theres nothing wrong with what I have. Apart from severe lack of use this year.

    As long as you run your winch in and out occasionally and give it a once over or inspection once in a while to ensure it is all kosher for when you actually need it, all will be good.

    Nothing worse then thinking ahh it should work and then actually get stuck and it doesn't or has issues. I usually go into the bush just behind my place and wind the rope out to a tree and then winch the truck up a small incline re-tensioning neatly the rope after each use or every couple of months. I got caught out a few times with the dodgy solenoids before so am a bit paranoid now. Haha

    There's some things I can do, some things I can't and then there's the ones if I fark up it's going to cost me time and money. I know my limits.

    The light bulb came on re: the solenoid and I think the problem was, I was looking at Ben's pic wanting to wire it up to my handheld controller, not a separate switch as in that pic... I think.. Anyway sorted now.

    The patrols in getting some goodies fitted and I got them to wire it up. Saves me blowing up a perfectly good solenoid or anything else for that matter.
