Winch Ground Wire Question

[Pauciflora]

G'day Folks,

I need some help wiring my XD9000 winch.

The problem is the small ground wire. I have attached one end to motor (where the long black wire connects....I'm pretty sure this is correct). The other end of the ground wire goes into the control box, but I'm not sure what it connects to.

I was told it went into the rear of the plug but already has three wires coming from it. I've checked some of the wiring diagrams on other threads but they do not show a connection point.

So close, yet so far.........

Ben

I suppose you want me to fly down there tomorrow and hook this up for you, don't you?

I'm going to help you again but for payment I want you to send me the trailer at the end of this thread!

I stand out in a lightning storm at 11:30 pm for you so I hope this helps or I won't get any sleep tonight worying about your winch not working in an emergency!

Here are a few photos and before you say it, the wire colors make no sense to me either but I traced them three times and it is what it is. The ground is not green it's red and here is where it hooks up...

The first photo is the inside of the selinoid cover. The rear of the cover is toward the top of the photo.

The second is a photo of the guts and the red dots trace the ground wire. That's where mine hooks up and it came that way from the factory. I can't imagine why yours has been disconnected or how it was disconnected.

That's all I have for you and I hope this helps somehow.

G'day Photogod,

Your are a bloody legend!! Thankyou very very much. The camper trailer is in the mail. Not only that because you risked life to answer my problem. I have decided to name my first-born after you. I hope good charma comes your way.

Thanks once again,

Ben, Bridget and baby Photogod.

God, I love you Ausies!!! Some day I'm going to invade your country and have you teach me how to really caravan! I hope you get the wiring figured out. Thankfully I can get a good nights sleep now! And really, thanks for the trailer,
