Warn m8000 wiring - HELP!!
I have been searching for a day on all forums out there but I cant find info that I understand.
I have a Warn m8000 winch which worked 2 months ago when it was removed from a TJ. I am now putting it on my new JK.
I know that the bottom bolt on the winch goes to the Negative on the battery so thats all good. But where do F1, F2 and A go?
here is a picture how I have it wired up but no go! What am I missing??
I am now stuck with the wires all over the place, need to get it finished so I can drive the beast

Yes thats the inside of the control box where all the solenoids sit and where all the wires go to the winch.
I have jump tested the winch and it works in both directions so I assume either I have the wires mixed up or one of the solenoid is not working. Maybe the 3 wires the green, black and white from the controller plug need to go to one of the other terminals

Thanks for the replies. Yes mine is stamped on the winch but not on the control box.
UPDATE:
I have received an email from Warn and they said its all hooked up correctly! So here is the catch, if you have removed the solenoid box off the car and are testing the winch the solenoids wont work as there is no ground!! and thats what i was doing before i get it tucked under the bonnet . So you can run a 14 gage ground wire to one of the spare solenoid terminals to solve that problem. Oh well now I know for next time
