P500 solenoid location

[ncred02]

My solenoid cable is too short to mount under hood. Where is your mounted?
I will have to add cable just nor sure if I should on battery side or motor side?

I mounted mine on the passenger side under the hood, looks like it is made to mount one there on the tabs. I had to extend battery side cables,just got some 6GA and put ends on it. Took longer than i thought to route it back to battery, just have to be patient...

Switch the red and black with the yellow and blue wires.Mount solenoid under hood by passenger side.Should be two holes on a bracket there.

got it wired up.
only issue is closing the battery compartment door.
Oh and my winch came with a circuit breaker that has the post exposed. For now I wrapped it in electrical tape and a washing machine hose. Tomorrow I will find a 50a fuse and housing thats not open to grounding out.

Is it only 50amp?
Warn shows the draw on a first layer single line pull 4500b at over 300amps.(Not sure what brand you have or size)

I was able to put my circuit breaker in the battery box, on the lefthand side there is room with a little "trimming" of the plastic.

I mounted mine to under the passenger seat next to the ECU. I just let about a foot of cable lopped underneath so the plastic pan can still be lifted for changing the oil filter.

2500 lb Harbor freight special. I may swap it out for a 3500 with a better setup
