It sounds like someone tried to install a remote rotary style switch on your winch. I have included a diagram of how the Superwinch regular rotary switch, # SW1591, gets installed along with a link to the instructions. However, I cannot say what the wire colors are or should be because someone may have just used whatever wire was available. The diagram should help explain function though.
The red knob if turned one way pulls the line in and turned the other way pushes the line out.
