I picked up a winch cab switch install kit a while back and finally go around to installing it. The problem is that the instructions that come with the kit are not accurate to my setup. I will upload a picture of the two (how I have mine wired) and the instructions/diagram that came with the kit.
The Dash Rocker Switch kit number is Warn 99897 (Dash Rocker Switch Kit)
I also have a warn power interrupt (Part 62132) that i installed a while back and its been working great. (Power Interrupt Kit - 62132)
I am connecting it to the Warn Contractor pack solenoid Part#81400
(https://www.amazon.com/WARN-81400-1...46&sr=8-1&keywords=warn+contractor+pack+81400)
I am running a Warn 9.5 XPs - (9.5XP-S Winch)
The grey wire #7 shows it connecting on the solenoid that connects to ground. That connection on my pack does not go directly to the battery and the connector is too small for any of the posts.
I diddled with several warn diagrams below ... I am not sure if it makes it more confusing or not...
The original is how the contractor pack was wired with the plug on the top.
The rest is how its currently wired (with the switch kit) . I am not sure what to do with gray.
Still have same two questions:
Question #1.
Is this (gray wire) really supposed to be ground to the battery or is it intended to be grounded to the frame? (or something else?)
* note the grey wire also eventually connects to the switch in the cab as well.
Question #2
Is the red wire that they show connecting to the ignition really just for the led?
If so can I just connect it to the power interrupt switch that is already in the cab? (I really don't care if the light comes on until power is turned on to the winch.)
Thought of a third question:
If Gray should just be ground. I can I just ground it to the chassy? AND If that is true, Can I reconnect the original switch and still use that as an option if the switch fails?
