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.
