wireless winch remote setup

[dig-dug-dan]

I brought a winch crane online, and wired it up to the battery of the truck having bolted it down where I wanted it, then used the anderson plug provided to connect the winch motor to the pendant. It works fine, and has done without fail.

I wanted to make it wireless so I brought a kit on ebay, that comes with the wireless transmitter and remote. The transmitter has 5 wires. Red for positive, black for negative, blue is the aerial, yellow and white for the winch.

I connected the red and black to battery, and white and yellow to the winch motor. Press tnhe remote, it clicks but nothing happens.

have put a tester on it, and there is 12v right up at the winch motor, it just wont turn!

if I wire it back to how it was, it works fine!!!

Any ideas?

I assume you've wired the yellow and white wheres into the solenoid not directly to the motor?

Where is the solonoid? Is it inside the pendant?

Your yellow and white should be replacing the leads from the control box switches (so you'll have power from the battery still going direct to crane as before AND to the remote receiver)

It doesn't look like there's a solenoid fitted on that setup but your wireless receiver won't have anywhere near the amps required to run the winch motor. You'll need to get a solenoid similar to the one in the link below and use the yellow and white wires to operate it.
