Need help with new motor for Warn 8274

[Brown75K5]

Need some help, so I got a new motor for my 8274 along with a new splined pinion gear for the clutch assembly. I know the top 3 terminals are for hooking up to the solenoid assembly

And that the bottom terminal is for the ground, but what in the world are the two wires sticking out for?

says to snip them off if your original motor didn't have them

Got the info from dbelectrical

I don't recall having those two wires. I'll double check if i work on the jeep tonight.

You have yourself a universal winch motor. If your original 8274 motor did not have those wires, cut them off and hit shrink cover them closed.

Thanks guys, will be cutting them off tomorrow night.

If I remember right, those wires went to some kind of overheat sensor. Some winches had a system that shut down the motor if it got too hot.
So, if you don't have that, just cut'em.
