[QUOTE="Nuzzy, post: 1235905, member: 15952"] Alright, I'm loosing my mind here... So I picked up this control box for an M8000 for uber cheap and am really hoping I can make it work. But I'm currently stuck and not finding what I want online via searching. Here's my problem: The A2500 has only two posts extending from the housing, marked 1 and 2. As such, the stock contactor only connects two wires to the winch (marked obviously 1 and 2). [IMG]http://www.warn.com.mx/Monroy%20WEB/warn/Atv/A2500winch/A2500lgrV2.jpeg[/IMG] Now the M8000 has 3 posts (marked F1, F2, and A) plus a ground screw. Thus the control box has a cable for pos batt terminal and then three other 2ga cables presumably for F1, F2, and A. (I have come to realize my control box lacks the 5th 10ga ground cable meant for the ground screw so I'll have to prolly wire that in myself) My problem is, I can't seem to find it defined anywhere what F1, F2, and A (mostly A) actually DO! If I knew what A did, then maybe I could figure out my workaround...

[IMG]http://www.teamcny.com/jeep/images/forum/warn_Winch_Motor_Test_Procedure.jpg[/IMG] Maybe I need to study this one and I'm just too tired to wrap my mind around it right now. [IMG]http://www.4x4wire.com/tech/winch/remote/schematic2.jpg[/IMG] I just don't get why the A2500 runs on 2 posts (1 and 2) whereas the M8000 runs on 3 posts (F1, F2, A). I know my A2500 works both directions because it was tested by jumping straight to a battery, and sure enough polarity one way spooled in while polarity the other way spooled out. [/QUOTE]
