Warn XD 9000 - Reassembly Help!

[Arivalsend]

I recently picked up a new to me XD9000 to put into my ARB. I got it for a pretty good price, the only downside being that it's solenoid was disconnected and in a box alongside it. I have the solenoid back together but I cannot figure out how to wire it back onto the winch assembly. I am working with several different wires, but as they are all black I have no idea which goes where. There area 2 wires that come off of the winch itself, labeled F1 and F2, these I know go back up to the solenoid, but I am not sure to which connection point. The Expo Portal overveiw the Frontier Crewcab had a similar writeup and even had a couple snapshots of the same solenoid as mine. Great pictures Mark but I don't know which black wire goes to which terminal.

There is another wire with no label that I am assuming runs up to the battery to power the unit (These are all big guage wires). Another I have read to attach to engine block, but I am not sure where to attach this; the solenoid or the winch?

So, 4 heavy guage wires that need a home. There is also one small guage wire off of the solenoid, again black, that looks as though it is a ground wire, it has a round connection fitting at the end.

Any help would be great guys. I don't want to botch this up and fry my winch. But I do want to get it hooked up to see if I do in fact have a working winch. As at this point I have what looks like a winch.


thanks all

I will be more than happy to take up close and personal pics of the wiring for you. I can do this this afternoon if you like.

I have been there before and it was one simple wire that was connected to a solenoid that was actually a ground (could this be the same small wire you speak of). I had to look look at a buddies to see the error.

EDIT: PICS BELOW

The big red wire is the one that goes directly to the Battery. The ground wire is attached to the bottom of the motor casing (talked about below). F1, F2 and A shown. (Pic above)

A is on left. F2 is right front. F1 is right rear. The big ground wire to the battery attached to the lone stud on the bottom of this motor casing.

Little "motor ground" wire. I attached here. The screw is remove to make taking the pics easier.

Everthing you need will be on the RH side of this link. Just download the owner's manual that corresponds to your model and the wiring diagrams will be inside.

Happy Easter!:victory:
