Well I am trying to wire up my solid state solenoid and for the life of me cant figure out what I am doing wrong. As far as my understanding goes (which is limited) I have wired it up correctly according to the drawings I have.
DRW 2 is the one that came with the solenoid.
Now my control/remote only has three wires coming out so I assume it is live,FWD & reverse, no earth??? But according to DRW 2 there should be a 4th?????
DRW 3 is downloaded from the net and also contradicts the way DRW 2 is.
I am also not sure if the way I have the winch drawn (DRW 5/6) up is correct as I have gone off DRW 1 which is also downloaded and is the opposite way.
I gave up then as I am worried that I am going to burn something out and s#^% will then hit the fan.
If someone is able two dumb it down (to pre school) level that would be awesome. I would like to get it done before this big meet for obvious reasons!!!!
What I dont understand is according to DRW 2 F2 goes from swich to solenoid and from solenoid to batt +, as far as I understood F1 & F2 were in/out. why would you run F2 straight to the batt??
I have also swapped F1 and A(armature) and when I connected the batt to F2 on the solenoid the winch spooled out without operating the switch. when I connected to F1 it shorted with F1 and A swapped.
