Warn A2000 Winch solenoid extremely hot
Hey all,
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

Hadf the same thing happen to me , mechanic said they always run hot. They are wired directly to the battery. I installed a simple on/off switch, and just use that when I need it. I went to get something from under the seat, Didn't even use the winch all day, and almost burned the back of my hand. Think what would have happened to the Brewski's. HeHe
