"I can't find the box with all my shit, but I know it's here somewhere" That's a good one and I've used myself many times!I'm glad Blackjack had a controller. The spare I have is a little rough.

It's missing the plug and has been tapped up before.

And of course like always I can't find the box with all my wiring parts. But I know it's here.
I keep saying I'm getting towards the end of this build but I still have all this stuff...."I can't find the box with all my shit, but I know it's here somewhere" That's a good one and I've used myself many times!
It was interesting when Warn came out with the plastic plug in the mid 80s they had the provision for additional pins as most companies do not. The five wire control came from when Warn went away from the "Old Ford Style" to the "New Ford Style" upright post solenoids that had to be grounded. At first Warn just added a ground wire from the solenoids to the motor and all the control harness connections used push on barrel connectors. Some serious failures started showing up due to the connectors and the voltage spike that happens when the magnetic field from the coil collapsing. So an upgrade to the five wire harness was necessary where they used ring terminals hard fastened and switching the ground circuit to manage the voltage spike. That also added some redundancy to the circuit as well.Blackjack can shed more light on this but the 5 pin I think added the overload safety feature or something like that.
That one has seen better days for sure.I'm glad Blackjack had a controller. The spare I have is a little rough.

Pretty sure most of us has one of those boxes or three."I can't find the box with all my shit, but I know it's here somewhere" That's a good one and I've used myself many times!
Just three for the motor is all that is needed.I think so. I'll have to look but I think there's three on the motor and three on the solenoids. I'll check to be sure.
OK I couldn't remember and haven't taken my winch apart yet.Just three for the motor is all that is needed.
You're on it! I just checked and there's only the three on the motor, nothing inside the solenoid cover.Just three for the motor is all that is needed.
