Title: Warn Winch Expert Required
Post by: Landy Guy on January 28, 2005, 15:30:06

Hi, just fitted a Warn 8000 to my 90. The cable was going the wrong way round the drum so had to fully unwind and wind on the correct way, no problems there, but on my controller the arrows are now wrong, select wind in and the winch un winds & vise versa. All i think i have to do is swap 2 of the 3 wires to the controller around, think they are, white, black, green. any one help please.

If you put the cable back the other way then it will work as the arrows say

From memory...  in the solenoid box, one of the controller wires should be attached to the power busbar where the incoming battery feed is.

If you swap the positions of the other two, this should reverse the operation of the controller.

Apologies if that's not right, but it's been ages since I looked at a standard solenoid pack :-)

Just to confirm, the winch should be pulling rope into the bottom of the drum, turning 'forwards' when spooling in.

It sounds as though you have wound the wire/rope on to the drum the wrong way.
Take it off and insert the wire the opposite way into the hole in the drum Then wind it back on in the right direction. It may depend on where you are entering the mount. Rolling over the drum or rolling under the drum.
Or maybe it is just the winch has been wired wrong in the first place.
