Looks really good.
As for the brown wires, given their size, the only thing they could be is a thermal switch.
You would wire them in series with the power input for the coils of the solenoids. That way, if the motor overheated, it would kill power to the coils and thus kill power to the winch.
As long as you don't hold power on while its stalled, and don't do super long winch pulls without checking on the motor temp, you should be ok.
If the motor starts to smoke, stop.
To an old timer like me, its really funny to see folks bragging on and looking for those winches.
When they first came out, they were widely regarded as junk.
Around these parts at least.
My friend who built winches had a pile of them behind his shop that he had taken off to put one of his own.
At first, he gave a little trade-value for them, thinking he could make a good winch out of them.
They were so much prettier and nicer looking than his. But every attempt to make them pull to his level failed.
The last attempt, was to adapt a Ford 6V starter motor to them like we used for our winches.
Got it adapted, mounted the winch on the test bed, hooked up the big bus battery and fired her up.
It was looking good for a few seconds. Just when he thought he had a working idea, the gear box exploded!
After that, if someone wanted to do a trade, his only concession was to take the old one off for free.
The customer could keep it if he wanted or not.
One of my friend's father had one on his vehicle, which I just this minute realized was a big K5 Blazer. Green with a white fiberglass top.
When we were in our camp in the river swamp, hardly a day went by that we did not hear him on the radio asking for a winch-out.
That Warn would get him out of the slick stuff, but if he bogged it, he had to holler for help.
I watched him try one time while I was standing by with my Jeep and its PTO winch.
He hooked it up, turned on the winch.
That big anti-reverse wheel went Clickity, Clickity, Click..Click......Click...............Click.....and then a loud HUMM.
I winched him out.
The newer Warns are much improved now of course. I suspect that there are not many of the first ones left.
If they did not get thrown away, sooner or later someone would hook two batteries in parallel to try to get it to pull harder, and most times the gear box would fail.
You folks don't realize how nice things are now.
But your quote you found is correct.
