n00b: Winch repairs
Posted: Sun Jun 15, 2008 2:43 pm
Tried the search function and couldn't find anything (maybe I wasn't doing something right)
I have a second hand Warn XD9000. It worked well when I got it, then the cable jammed (my fault). I freed it and it worked again. Swapped it onto my new rig and she just doesn't do anything.
The clutch lever thing to select between free spool and locked position doesn't want to move. It's currently in the locked position.
I press the trigger and nothing happens, no noise or movement.
I found that there was no power getting to the other side of the solenoid on the bottom left. (Where the main power comes in) Does this mean that the solenoid is rooted. What are they worth to replace? Where can I pick them up?
What regular maintenance can I do to stop it breaking in the future?
I'll try and post up some pic's to give a better idea of what I'm on about
