Instructions
Troubleshooting a Cable Winch
1. Research the solenoid or remote check switch. Provided the Engine runs in one shot one trail, the solenoid is either stuck or evil or the remote government switch is bad. If the motor runs but the drum does not turn, the clutch may not be engaged. Engage the clutch. If the clutch is fully engaged and the drum still does not turn, an internal repair may be necessary.5.
Bound the pins at the Eight and Four o'clock positions. If the motor still does not run, jump the pins at the Eight and Ten o'clock positions. If this does not work, the motor may be defective and may need to be replaced.
2. Check the temperature of the motor. If the motor runs too hot, there is either a malfunction in the battery or the winch has run too long. Check the battery under load. If it reads less than Ten volts, replace it. If the winch has run too long, turn it off and let it cool.
3. Check for either a bad connection or a problem with the charging system if the winch runs at low power. To check for a bad connection, inspect battery terminals and make sure they are free of grease or dirt. If it is the charging system, then the system should be replaced.
4. Check the clutch to make sure the clutch is engaged when operating the winch. Trial the solenoid by applying Twelve volts to the coil terminal. The solenoid should accomplish an audible click when receiving force.To test the remote control switch, disengage the clutch and remove the switch plug from the socket.
Check the solenoid if the motor does not run. Apply Twelve volts to the coil terminals. There should be an audible click when energized. Next, check the control switch. Disengage the clutch and remove the switch plug from the socket. Jump pins at the Eight and Four o'clock positions. Tighten connections on the motor and the bottom side of the hood. Loose connections will impede motor function. If the solenoids and remote switch test out fine, the motor may be defective. Replace the motor.
