I have an 07 Sportsman 800 and have the factory Warn Winch. Where is the Winch Solenoid located. My winch will only go in and i have it so jammed in the fair lead that i cant even free spool it back out.

 

check under right front wheelwell up high might have to remove front storage thats where it is on wife's 07 500

 

On my 08 800 Sportsman its on the up high on the frame behind the front right tire.

 

no need to take storage box off. just 2 bolts hold the plate to the frame and it will drop down to see the conntacter.

 

Thanks. I found it and did some testing. The Winch works when jumped off of the battery and the switch works fine, checked with test light. Tested the conntactor and got no power going to winch in the out position. Anyone changed it out for a different type? The + and - lead from the battery is molded together in one piece so it may be difficult unless i cut them apart.

 

I had a gorrila contactor, and it's connectors didn't work the way the cables were molded together, so I used my dremel tool and cut in it half. But I would say a warn contactor from ebay would be the best route
