Question:

I have a lt3000 Superwinch and hooked it up but am confused on the wiring. It has the handle bar switch and the remote , but cant figure out what post the wires go to on the solenoid and what wires connect to the others . There us two black post and two red post on soleniod. Any help I would be grateful.

First you want to make sure you mount the solenoid close to the battery, under the seat or frame or in the storage box. Next route the red wire from the handlebar switch to the ignition switch and connect to the wire that is powered when ignition is in the on position. Then route the two wires from the solenoid to the motor.

Next route the two wires from the solenoid to the battery and attach the circuit breaker to the end of the red wire. Wrap the circuit breaker with electrical tape. Then attach the short circuit breaker wire to the battery positive terminal and reattach the terminal to the battery. Finally connect the remaining black solenoid wore to the battery negative terminal and connect the terminal to the battery.

I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to check out as well.
