Wiring a winch ?

4261 Views 3 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  Skyraider
The photos of the wiring I have that came with the Viper Max winch are hard to figure out in places. Do I connect the small red wire from the rocker switch and the small red wire
from the remote cable together and then connect those two wires to one of the wires off the Yamaha wiring harness ? I might scan the diagram and enlarge it to see if that helps but I figure you guys can tell me for sure if that is how those wires are hooked up. Thanks

Scan and post it. We’ll get it figured out. I can’t remember which wire off the pigtail is hot but a tester light will help to quickly determine that if one of these guys doesn’t already know.
Maybe Skyraider ment this "photo"?
Found it on the website of the manufacturer. Must say, never saw a more sophisticated wiring diagram as this one ..... >:)>:)

Yes that is the one . I think I have figured it out after looking at the photo enlarged a bit. I think the red wires from the remote and rocker switch run to one of the leads on the Yamaha harness I plugged into the factory wiring. Have snow and no heat in my garage but when it warms up some I will wire it that way and see what happens. It is my first time installing a winch and I know nothing about electrical systems but I have learned a lot from this site and the great help you guys have given me. Thanks.
