Instructions for LED Assembled kit Installation

Parts in the kit:

2- Clear LED’s short leg is (-)

2- LED Holders use a 21/64ths drill for mounting holes

2- 330 Ohm ½ Watt Resistors 

3- 5/16ths Mounting Lugs for the solenoid

Other items you may need and not supplied:

18 gauge hookup wire red and black 2’ of each depending on your winch

Heat Shrink: Yellow and Green Dubro worked for me

Low Watt soldering Iron, electrical flux, and Rosin Core electrical solder

The typical winch situation is at the right.  The positive (long) leg of the LED always is towards POS battery terminal.  The LED negative (short leg) of the LED goes towards the motor terminal.  This assumes you have battery negative grounded to the winch frame.  The resistor can go on either leg of the LED but to keep it looking like the diagram put the resistor on positive leg of the first LED from battery positive terminal and on the negative leg of the second LED.  To test the LED once resistor is on the leg, you just put across 12 volts.  It will light if polarity is correct.  You will not hurt it if resistor is in place.

A special thanks to Andrew E. Mileski for his technical help and picture.

Assembled Kit Installation Instructions:

1-     The leads are labeled and match illustration above.  The single red lead with lug must go on the solenoid that is toward battery positive.

2-     Attach it to 5/16 stud that is closest to battery positive.

3-     Attach the double wire lug to either solenoid on one of the studs between the solenoids.

4-     Attach the remaining lug to solenoid stud closest to motor stud.

5-     The plastic plate can be mounted by drilling it and bolting on metal straps to the winch frame.

6-     The plate is a type that you can heat and bend.

7-     If a problem email me at: calplsf@altelco.net would appreciate feedback and pictures.
