The 1585202 winch is capable of pulling 8500 pounds when provided adequate DC power. With no load (winding up slack the cable) the motor requires 84 amps and winds at 18 feet / second. When fully loaded (8500 pounds), the motor requires in excess of 320 amps and winds at 3.5 feet / second. That's an awfully large amount of current and it will need heavy duty power supply cables to work without overheating or melting insulation. I suspect your 1585200 is the same model with same electrical requirements, but did not include a fairlead, mounting plate, etc..

Superwinch has wiring kit #2007 for front mount (5 foot cables) and #2008 for trailer mounts (25 foot cables) and can simplify the installation with other accessories as well. They're a U.S. company and can be contacted them directly:

Is there a free wiring diagram that show what wire to connect my new winch to

Red is POSITIVE.
Connect to + terminal of battery.
Your winch should be equipped with a fuse.
Do not connect to any of your wiring except battery side of solenoid PROVIDED wire is same gauge or bigger (thickness) than winch wire.
Connect Black to frame or negative battery terminal.

I pinched my remote plugin cable and broke one wire. I spliced the wire and the winch still won't work. Is there a reset button or a fuse which may have shorted out? The winch is a m12000 from 1997.

Is the hot wire connected directly to the battery? Did you check to see if the wire is hot after you spliced it? There may be fusible link in the wiring or the wiring may be broken somewhere else. You can also try running a new hot wire from the battery to rule out a faulty winch. Trace the wire from the winch to its source of power, ie fuse box or battery

Warn winch troubleshooting

It sounds like your solenoid is not reversing the polarity , which will require a new winch solenoid. Before replacing the solenoid, check your switch. It might have one contact no good. Switch the wires around and try to retract winch by paying out.

Wire guage for winch hookup

B I G!!!!! Depends on the amperage but I'm going to recommend at least 2 aught. That is not #2 either. 2 aught, not as big as 4 aught or 3 aught but pretty big copper wire. 4 aught is 1/2 inch thick (almost), 2 aught is 0.365 thick so almost 3/8 inch. The bigger the better for a big winch.

Superwinch LT2000 will only work one way? Help?

you may have burned the controller a winch works by reversing the polarity remove the two nuts on the winch itself that the wires go to and reverse the wires now your winch should only work in the other direction if this is the case amazon.com has some pretty reasonable priced controllers
