Could be that the wire is tangled up? I know my friend had that problem with his winch. Only would go out like 3 feet and it was tangled from there so no more would come out. Attached it to my quad and give it a lil gas and it came loose. Then of course re did it all nice and straight.

 

Hey Mitch, Take a set of jumper cables and run them from your car /truck battery and touch them to the terminals directly on the winch. (+ & - don't matter) The winch should start to turn. If it does, the problem is likely in your switch, if not it is in the winch itself. Hope this helps,
Ryan
(BTW, when I saw the title "Wench won't work" I thought you were talking about the wife! I was gonna reply "Mine won't either!" LOL!!)

 

If your battery is low on charge it will not work till battery is fully charged. My Kodiak's battery won't take a full charge so it takes like 30 minutes of riding before the winch will work, then it works fine.
