Ramsey website shows Badger wiring diagram for solenoid hookup etc but not plug. Shouldn't take a good DIY mech or auto electrician too long to work out which wire goes where especially if they loosen the socket it plugs into which should reveal which wires go to where on the solenoid block. Basically that's all they do, there's a supply side, a ground wire and all the hand control does is switch the supply to the solenoid for forward and reverse. From memory there's only 4 wires? Supply to hand control,1 wire to one sol, 1 wire to other sol, 1 ground wire. Supply could be red, ground is usually black, fwd / rev will be 2 other colours. Look at the socket to see match up?
Here is a sample of how to wire a winch. I have built my own box with relays to swap the power for reverse etc I'm not sure if you have to buy an extra kit where someone has done the work for you or not. It looks neater when purchased. Click here

This may help (or maybe not): The Black wire is the ground wire, and the other two are considered Hot wires, and their order does not matter - they carry 240 Volts AC. So, once you identify which terminal on the solenoid is ground, connect Black to it, then just hook up the remaining two Hot wires in any order.
It sounds like you have broken a pinion tooth. Remove the screw from the end housings and open to inspect the drive gears. Parts can be purchased from Superwinch for these or off e-Bay.
Take your voltmeter and verify your voltage at the switch. If it is 11.5 or better, try reversing the motor. Reverse direction requires less ampreage to run and should work fine, then try forward or wind.
