Warn winch wiring diagram

Hello. It seems the winch on your Yamaha 'strained' its electrical system; 'fried' wires including the 'starter circuit' wiring. It's possible there is a 'blown' relay and/or fuse somewhere. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

Joyce, google search your winch model for instructions.
Check the attached links,Manuals and guides, Good luck with your Bike

Red is POSITIVE.
Connect to + terminal of battery.
Your winch should be equipped with a fuse.
Do not connect to any of your wiring except battery side of solenoid PROVIDED wire is same gauge or bigger (thickness) than winch wire.
Connect Black to frame or negative battery terminal.

This winch should simple straight foward hook up. Your big red & black wires should hook straight to your battery. Red (+) black (-) if there is no fuse on the wires put at least a 20 amp.fuse close to your battery. These are the main power suply. They will go in a.small black box. Also coming out of the black box will be the wires that run to the cable in & out switch.and there should be one heavy ga. Wire going to the winch motor. Make sure the wire is good and clean when you hook it to the winch motor. Do not over tighten the nut . Just give a good snuging down. As for your solenoid box. That should be the little black box that your main power wires go into and controle wires come out of..

Maybe wired backwards. Its unwinding when you push the button and does nothing else.. ??

Where did you ground the winch motor? You need a separate, heavy duty, switch with a relay to transfer the positive side voltage properly... DO NOT ground to the battery..use a clean, free of paint, place to ground. You may have fried the solenoid..do not connect the positive side to the solenoid. Direct connection to the + battery from the relay is good with a good waterproof fuse in line. Sometimes I have seen the "maint. free" batteries die when used "wrong" and still show 13 volts+.

How do you find the key wire to hook the red wire for a winch on a Polaris 2014 570efi

run the fault codes
possible tat the winch is wired in correctly and is not allowing the alternator to fully charge the electronic system

Use a test light at the contactor to see if the switch and wiring are good.If you see an input from the switch up to the contactor,make sure the connections are all clean on the control input terminals at the contactor.(The contactor is the device that changes the polarity of 12V to the winch to extend or retract-essentially a double throw double pole relay).
