Review on Astra Depot Solenoid Contactor 8000Lbs 12000Lbs by Shawn Lamp

After I figured out how to connect it, this controller worked PERFECTLY. I have attached the corrected schematic which I hope will help you wire it up quickly and easily. The wiring diagram is not clearly visible. If you hold the solenoid with the 3 smaller spade connectors, the FACE is on you. Because the solenoid reverses polarity each time it is activated.) For the 3 smaller spade connectors on the front of the solenoid. The MIDDLE SPADE is for the BLACK wire from the CONTROL UNIT (AN ADDITIONAL jumper MUST be connected from the MIDDLE SPADE to the NEGATIVE FRONT CENTER LARGE LUG). and then connect the yellow and white wires from the CONTROL BOX to the LEFT and RIGHT SHOVEL terminals (if the winch moves backwards when the controller is pressed, just turn the yellow and white wires OFF). The BLACK wire coming out of the CONTROL UNIT should be connected to the MIDDLE SMALL PLATE on the MAGNET (with an OPTIONAL black "jumper" connected from the SMALL MIDDLE NEGATIVE WINGS to the LARGE MIDDLE PLUG FRONT. The RED wire comes from from CONTROL UNIT BODY MUST BE CONNECTED TO (REAR CENTER BIG POSITIVE TERMINAL ON MAGNET. CENTER TERMINAL ON MAGNET MUST ALSO BE CONNECTED TO (FRONT CENTER) NEGATIVE TERMINAL ON MAGNET (If winch does not work properly when you press IN or OUT, then just swap the yellow and white wires where you connected them to the little petals on the SOLENOID.) I wanted b the other remote that this unit comes with and I wanted MANUAL steering on my ATV handlebars so I also buy l MANUAL CONTROL SWITCH and just connect the RED wire of the MANUAL SWITCH to the POSI TIVEN BIG LUG on the MAGNET. and two more wires from the HANDLEBAR MOUNTED MANUAL SWITCH to the yellow/white small spade lugs on the MAGNET. I now have TWO WAYS TO CONTROL MY WINCH. when I'm away from the car). The second option is to use the hand controls when I'm in the car. Carefully. Yes? I highly recommend this remote control. Everything worked great once I connected the wiring properly. and bought and installed two small 23A batteries in handheld remotes. The other reviewer who posted directions and a picture before me was VERY helpful. THANKS!
