hey guys. I have an aisin a1-1000 winch on my 1990 hzj73 and have no remote to check it with. its on my shop floor and I am trying to see if it works ok. it has 2 solenoids #38611-60020. I hooked up hot battery cable and also ground, and jumped with a wire from hot post on winch to each solenoid and it worked, both cable in and cable out. then I mounted it on cruiser and hooked it back up like it was originally, turned the key on ACC, and tried to jump solenoids as I have no remote, and nothing. the wire from the solenoid or whatever it is in engine bay had no voltage so I had no power to the winch. winch would work if I wired it direct to battery and could jump the solenoids or had a remote. is it possible to bypass the solenoid in engine bay? I saw on here somewhere where I could get a warn controller and 6 pin connector and re-wire it to work for my winch. does anyone know where I can get these, I think I heard RADD cruisers? need to be sure it would work for an A1-1000. any information will be appreciated. thanks guys. edit- just found out the part in engine bay that sends power to the winch is a magnetic switch. bet mine is good. I think I just need a remote.
