Going Wireless

[Nitr0]

Hello everyone. I’m trying to mount a wireless system to my warn tabor.

Solenoid box is like that:

And this is my 5 wires box:

I cannot make it work.

Any ideas. TIA.

I'm assuming your "5 wires box" is the remote receiver. Didn't it come with instructions, or at least a description of each colored wire's function? Having that information will give you a better chance at getting help here...

red - positive
Black - ground
White - out
Yellow - in
Blue is just an antenna.

I know where to conect black and red but I miss 2 others wires.

This post by @CodaMan shows the Warn color code:

How about this? Worked for me.

Assuming a non-USA Tabor winch uses the same color codes, here's your connection pinout:

Looks good. I'll try that and I'll tell you. Thanks.

Good luck - the first thing you should do is make sure you have the same wire colors from that post on your winch remote socket. If not, you'll have to figure out what colors do what, first.

Sandly it didn't works. My color scheme are a little different that the ones in the first post. There are no black wires at all and red and white are changed. Anyway I conected like that and didn't work. May be the receiver is broken.

Take a look at the wire colors on the back side of the electrical socket on the control box that the wired remote plugs into. What colors are the wires there? Can you take a picture of the back side? Also, post a picture of your wired remote so that we can see if it matches a US market remote.

Is your white connected to brown ?? Not black.

Brown and green are in and out, or out and in.

I don’t think so. There are 4 browns in the box. They are supposed to be the ground but I cannot read 12v with any them and the red one.
Anyway I will try the brown instead the white. Thanks.

Those wireless units do not switch the ground circuit like the Warn one does. To make it work you have to just direct ground the solenoids. Warn will advise you that is defeating a safety measure so just be aware of that if you do it. They wanted redundant switching for safety and it does increase the life of the solenoids slightly.

So I just have to connect the brown wire to ground?

As they say, you learn something new every day! Thanks for dispensing your winch magic, Blackjack!

Hello. Finally I made it work. I ordered another receiver and now everything works properly, the old one was damaged or I broke it with all those test.

The tricky thing is to join the black and brown wires. I put a switch in the box to activate that wire.

Thank you to everyone involved.
