Warn A2000 Winch solenoid extremely hot ?
Hey all, I posted this message in the Utility forum as well.
Has anyone with a Warn A2000 winch using the included solenoid notice if the solenoid is extremely hot to the touch. I just installed my winch and noticed that it was very warm with the engine running. And after flipping the actuator switch just 3 times so I could spool out the cable far enough to get the hook on I checked the solenoid and it felt like it was on fire. The winch seems to be working fine, however, I haven't been able to pull the cable out in freespool mode yet.
Is it normal for the solenoid to run so hot? I have it mounted in the storage box of my Eiger and I'm afraid it could melt the plastic. I think I'll disconnect it until I can get some answers.
Thanks,
Mick
