Warn 2.5ci questions
I decided to clean up my warn winch, it was so full of dirt and bad grease I had to clean it out. I got it all back together and working properly. My question is about wiring. When I bought Kawi it came with a Superwinch on it, I had a bad experience with superwinches in the past so I swapped my Warn from my Cat to the Kawi but kept the stock Superwinch wiring. As it sits now with the super wiring the winch works but will shut down after severe pulling. What happens is the winch will stop working when pulling hard, then a few seconds later it will work again. It scares you sometimes, it would suck to have the winch cable tight and the quad stuck by yourself.
I know I should of snagged the warn wiring too but I was selling my Cat the next day and the winch worked so I let it go, ran out of time. So now I want to fix my shut down problem, I want to scrap the super winch wiring totally, maybe keep the switch and beef up my wiring to 6 guage. Do you guys think this will help my winch from not shutting down? Is it shutting down because of not getting enough power because the wires are not capable of providing it and it turns itself off because its just sitting and would burn itself out if it kept going? I know long sentence, I hope it makes sense.
If anyone can provide some feedback or ideas it would help, thanks for reading.

You can buy a wiring kit from warn it's called an upgrade kit for the 2.0 winch. It is the same wiring as the
2.5. You can look at it here but you have to buy it from a warn dealer.

Warn 2.5ci electrical questions
It may be you solenoid geting hot . you can buy a solenoid at napa. It is a continuos duty solenoid. ST-80 is
the napa part #. try hooking the wires from the switch straight to the batt without the solenoid and see if that helps. If it takes care of it then you will know that was the problem. If it is your wiring,the wires will be very hot
