I got a warn winch xd9000 but without remote
, is there any way to test it without buying the remote? The jack that the remote plugs into has 5 prongs.
Than u in advance
 
Sure. At least you can find out if it runs. If it will pull, is a different story, it has to be mounted and hooked to something strong to load test it.

All the remote does is connect two of the pins together to fire the correct solenoids. Trouble is, I don't have the schematic of that connector right at hand.

Somebody here might have the info, or it might be on a Warn site. There are basically two types of solenoids. If you were to post a picture of the solenoid pack showing them, I might be able to work out what wires to hook together to make it run.

I have a schematic of the different types of winch hookups somewhere on the hard drive. If you can follow the wires, that might be enough.

I will see if I can find it.
 
OK, since you can't see pics here unless you are a member, here are a couple of links.

Its dead simple. Warn had a "better idea" with the five pin remote. Instead of letting the solenoids get their ground from their cases, the remote supplies it.

I can see where that might look safer because two different wires or switch contacts would have to short out for the winch to come on at the wrong time.

Most runaway winches I have seen were due to welded solenoid contacts which this would not help much.
And since these winches use dual solenoids for each direction, even that does not occur all that often.

Basically, that jumper you see on the switch schematic means that which ever way you push the switch, the red ground wire is hooked to the brown wire.
The white wire is hot, and is hooked to either the green wire or the black wire depending on which way you want it to go.

I'm not sure that the pinout on the other link is correct. If you can get to the back side of the socket on the winch, and the wire colors are the same, that should tell you what you need to know.

Just tie the red wire to the brown, and hook the white to either the green or black.
