I have a warn winch on my 2004 sportsman. It stopped working last week. The solenoid seems to be working. At least it sounds like its engaging.

I am getting a reading of 14 volts at the same time from both the blue and yellow wires going to the winch. Is this normal?

Is there a way I can test the winch?

 

I know this is a dumb question, but what the heck,,
Is you winch cluch engaged??

 

No it is not cluch engaged

 

i think what he was trying to say is the "free spool" in engaged?

 

no the arrow is pointing to engaged

 

This might sound dumb as well but does it smell burnt?

 

just wondering if it might be an old 8 post contactor??? the had a recall for 2500# and 3000# that could start fires.... just wait till more guys get out of work, you will get an answer......

 

Right on GunnSmoke... I was heading in that direction too. Just wanted to make sure someone else was thinking the same.

 

just me ,but i would try to see if direct battery power + and - to see if would spin..this is what i would try i dont think it would hurt it ..or you could evev get a test light/multi meter and see if you have power and ground that far,if you dont go and test power/ground to the next component in line..just trying to help...

where is STENDORI!!!! HELP!!!
