Hi everyone new here, the only electrical wiring I do is on cars, so I'm at a loss here. I have an early 90s diesel powered snow blower that goes on the front of a loader and it originally was ran from a controll box with switches but now my boss bought a wireless remote with a receiver that he wants to wire in so I got everything hooked up and most of it works because it is electric over hydraulic so when you hit button 1 wire 1 gets power opening up the solenoid 1 and the exciter wire powers the pump and so forth and the problem I'm having is on the throttle which is a 12v electric motor that runs both ways, so I have 2 wires to feed power to make it run but I have no way to make the wires coming from the motor to switch polarity can I use a 5 pin ar272 relay to do this with and if so how diagrams help a lot or if any other ideas on how to make this work would be great

Below is a basic H-bridge type circuit using two SPDT relays (ar272 or similar) to reverse the voltage direction to a motor depending upon whether the Cntrl_Up or Cntrl_Down relay is energized.
The diodes are to protect the contacts from inductive arcing.

If the control line has sufficient current to power the motor then you can use one DPDT relay as below:

If you use the standard 30 amp automotive cube relays you can leave out the contact protection diodes for the motor and avoid problems such as blown diodes.
