Thread: winch controller box

I am just using an albright solenoid mounted in what looks like the factory posistion going by the above pictures (drivers side of RHD).
I then have two momentary switches mounted on grill for in/out and a inout switch mounted in the cab. Both are isolated by the one switch in the cab.

It keeps all the main power wires extremly short.
I have to fill the washer bottle this arvo. So I will try and remember to take some pictures.

Whats the wiring going inside on the factory diagrams? An OEM operation switch? If so whats the part number?

The diagram is just of the isolator kit. I believe it was Warn product sold by LR.

There is a switch located in the dash "dimmer" location with wiring run down to the isolator solenoid.

There is an blog post on installing a kit thatis basically the same thing here

I'd posted up more as an illustration of how you could mount a winch solenoid in that location.

ADD: The cutout kit was STC 50299. There are fitting instructions in the Accessories pdf on the RAVE cd, or you can download from Topix: http://topix.landrover.jlrext.com/to...document/61056

Heres mine.
Cant get a pic of the albright soliniod. As its behind the grill. But you can see the 2 bolts that hold it in place.

Close up of in/out switches on grill and the 2 bolts that hold the solinoid in place.


This shows where I have mounted the isolate switch and momentary in/out switch.


And yes I need to clean the inside of the car.

Where did the buttons on the grille come from?

eBay. But if your close I have spares.
I thought they might be to small to start with but now they are there. They're perfect. And waterproof.

Jaycar also sell them from memory. But they only had red and black.

They're waterproof I'll assume.

Not that close but will tfr funds to cover goods and postage, rather give it to you than retailers.

PM me paypal or some other info and how much to send.

Yep they appear to be waterproof. I have washed the car and driven in the rain. And they still work fine. They have been the car since christmas and still work fine.
I was concerned so brought a bag of 10 (might have been more).
