Description of πŸ”Œ 12V 500 AMP Universal Winch Solenoid Relay Contactor - Heavy Duty Upgrade | Albright Equivalent

Solenoids are electromagnetic switches. The winch solenoid is used to activate the winch motor on a vehicle-mounted winch. It is designed to supply the required current without damaging the winch motor or the winch switch. It is activated when current from the battery is directed to the solenoid by pressing the switch of activation. The activation of the winch solenoid sends current to the motor. Then the winch motor begins to run the winch drum. The typical winch uses separate winch solenoids for reverse and forward. Best quality winches use four winch solenoids. This solenoid relay could be applicable for Winch Motors, Snow Plow & Spreader Motors, Windlasses, Hydraulic Pump Motors & Other Reversible Motors, etc. Heavy Duty Waterproof Solenoid For 12V up to 17,000lb.Voltage:12V, Power: 500 AMP, Dimension:3.9x2.3x3.1 inch/ approx. 77 x 36.3 x 86.2mm (L*W*H).

Improved Contact Solution Works Wonders

Based on my observations, the universal solenoid contactor upgrade is an impressive addition to my car. It provides consistent and reliable contact, giving my vehicle a smooth and speedy start every time. The installation process was simple and hassle-free, making it a worthwhile investment for any performance car enthusiast. While the upgrade may be a bit pricey, the enhanced performance it delivers is well worth the cost.

Pros
  • Easy to install and upgrade existing Albright contactors.
Cons
  • Not compatible with non-Albright contactors.

The posts do not form the pattern shown in the instructions.

Not working as expected and fuse blown. Using a multimeter, I determined that the red post was not part of a circuit. The green, black and blue bars are all part of the same circuit and when power is then applied the blue bar goes out. This is useless to me as I had to power the winch when it was turned on by a switch in the cockpit. I tried to post a video but it wouldn't load.

Pros
  • Kit contains: 1 electromagnetic winch relay, 6 protective caps.
Cons

Ramsey 3 wire engine harness

Connects a 3-wire motor Ramsey to terminals A, F1 and F2. Battery positive to the red dot. Motor cable A to the black dot. F1 and F2 go green and blue. F2 goes to the green and blue dots, but if not connected properly the winch will simply move backwards where you can either swap them or swap the black and green magnet wires. It is very important that the blue wire on the magnet does not rise. The black dot must be connected to NEG ground (otherwise there will be a voltage drop across your…
