I have a 3000lb gorilla winch on my xplorer400. The thing wont reel out if its in the engaged mode, it reels in just fine just not out. I tried cleaning connections and checking wires and such and nothin. Anyone have any ideas? Is it a bad solenoid?

Thanks

 

have you checked the contractor and make shure its working correctly? the contractor will power one wire on the way in, and then power the other wire on the way out...... and obvisly the opisite wire will be grounded. is what it sounds like to me would be the issue.

 

it's a bad contacter most likely. just switch wires onthe winch from top to bottom. if it works in the direction it didn't before, then you know its a bad contacter/solenoid. imo

 

Just give gorrilla a call, they'll help ya figure out what's wrong, they'll send you the parts under their lifetime warranty

 

Thanks for the help. I'll try the contactor switch and see if that doesnt fix it. I'll call gorilla on monday if it doesnt. Thanks again!
