if the old lever is jammed putting a new one on may not fix the problem. you'll find the sliding gear to engage the drum is either full of crap or dry, if it won't move niether will the handle. take it apart and service it or get someone to do it for you.

depending on what type of winch it is you can get them out easily on a highmount just undo the 4 bolts and it should come out.

As Joe said you need to strip it down and clean out the gunk.

I will do it for you as a deal on your electric windows if you like.
