Winch Solenoid Location?

[Steelslinger]

I haven't gone digging yet, but was wondering if anyone knew the location of the factory winch solenoid on a '19 defender? Need to tie a second switch (joystick style) in to it.

Just a SWAG on my part but the wiring diagram seems to show the winch wiring going back under the dash in the center behind the removable switch panels, not a great place to access or have to make connections?🤔

That wouldn't be horrible, only need to add two wires from the joystick switch. My biggest concern is whether it even has a solenoid/relay setup or if the dash switch is acting as the solenoid as in a reversing switch. In which case I would need to run a separate relay and power wires to the winch itself.

On my 2019 lonestar, it's up under the dash.
