Ok so ive begun my process of putting in cab controls. Ive searched a few forums found alot of good info some has helped some not so much. The reason I need help is everyone elses set up seems to have one solenoid pretty easy where to run wires. I on the other hand have 4 solenoids ive tryed my best on where to put wires for the in and out switch with no luck. Can somone drsw on pic or help me figure out why I cant get this to work

In your 2nd pic, the toggle on the right is your power switch, with your led below it- correct?
So then your in/out switch is the toggle to the left (behind pic)- there are no wires hooked up to the in/out going to the winch/solenoids. ?

Did your winch already have a plug for handheld controller? If so, trace where those wires go, should be 3 wires- in, out, common

Done that I have 4 wires looks one 2 in out and a 3rd power and a fourth maybe common as it runs to all solenoids

Do you have a meter? You can find the 12volts+ and the ground will show resistance to the negative on the battery. For the in/out wires- take a piece of wire -Attach an inline fuse with a 5 amp fuse to the positive battery terminal, take the other end to the one of the 2 wires - winch will move in or out.

I found these on the interweb. The first one looks like the picture of the 4 solenoids you posted. This is a diagram of how it should be wired to the switch. Your safety switch will be wired in front of and supply power to your in/out switch. sw
Hope this helps.
