Hi Guys
Well after dealing with Warn's nearly useless "technical support", and both of my local Acrtic cat dealers, i cannot seem to get a solution to my quest to get the Warn wireless remote working with my Arctic Cat/Warn cobranded 3000LB winch PN: 1436-064.
Now after opening the AC winch kit box, it immediatly became appearent that installing the winch was going to be easy, sadly the included instruction manual was a WARN manual, this made the entire wiring diagram inside useless, the warn system has a Green and Black wire that runs from the contactor to the handlebar switch. On the AC version it has a Green Black and Blue wire, and half way up the handlebar switch harness the Black wire runs into the harness adaptor, then a red "ignition" come out of it and continues up into the handlebar switch.
Sorry if thats too confusing, try explaining it to someone on the phone who barely speaks english haha
Attached are a couple pictures of my mess, i sure hope someone else has attempted this and been successsful.
Please note the picture of the two green and two black wires is the harness hookup for the wireless control box.
Also the picture of the harness clip shows how there are three wires right from the contactor, unlike the WARN universal that only has two.
My biggest thing is i want to find out why AC has added an extra Blue wire, and if the contactor is different between the AC branded WARN winch and the standard universal WARN winch.
Im sure i've forgot something, please let me know...
and THANKS!, i hope i can go wireless, because the AC branded winch does not come with the wired "extended" controller, again another change in the wiring harness...
