Warn 8274 solenoid

[wombat]

My 8272 will "click" sometimes when winding out but works great winding in. I have done the usual cleaning and tightening etc and found i have a solenoid or two on the way out. The easiest thing for me to do is replace the solenoids but i found this at auto
Princess Auto

So my questions are
will this work,do you need only one,how easy to wire,do you toss out the old solenoids and mount this inside the black plastic solenoid cover???

I'm not sure how the 8274 is wired. But if its just a standard 2 wire DC motor you'd put 2 of the wires on that black thing, the other 2 big terminals go to the battery then just wire up a switch to the 3 little terminals...

winches are usually 3 wire, so you're close, but either way wouldn't be hard to wire.


I saw these things the other day too, just wasn't sure 100amp rating was high enough.

Certainly cheap tho.

might want to PM Too Tall remember a thread awhile ago discussing an alternative for getting rid of all four solenoids

Thanks guys, that would be the easiest to just replace the faulty one if i can find out which one it is.

100 amp willnot cut it for an 8274 it draws like 400a at start

Also vern the new pack and remote cost me 250 from lordco, that includes both and it is the new 5 pin

Did you manage to get a front bumper and winch to complete your truck yet?
