Thanks for the video. i'm a bit confused about the additional ground, you mean aside from what you are showing in the video, I need to connect another ground from that black wire, to the vehicles body (ground)? so 1 ground going to the contactor, another 1 going the vehicles body ground?
Thanks, that Negative post on solenoid had me very confused. I have the same exact remote kit. Do you know if there is a way I can hook it up to also be able to use the old-style corded control? just in case we lose the remotes, So essentially have the option to use both the cordless remote and the corded remote.
I would ditch the old control box with corded remote. If wireless fails you could wire in a backup switch to send power to the yellow or white wire to operate winch
My harbor freight 12,000 pound has three wires ports on top and one ground wire port on the bottom. I could not get my winch to work but was due to an internal wire short in my long wire to my switch from the relay box. Never felt that was the problem until it felt like the relay stuck. Now it is fixed with a new spice of wire.
I think I'm having same problem that you did. I have black from module going to center spade, yellow and white to the outside spades. So you're saying I need to also add a chassis ground to center spade as well? Thanks in advance.
