Outer Limits 4x4 Board

my winch does not work, it is just a cheap t-max copy. I don't use it much and it has been under water and mud.
the solinoids make a good clean click, I have pulled the motor apart and the brushes were stiff. I have freed them up and reasembled it and it now only works in one direction. When I swaped to two main power wires on the top on the motor it works in the other direction. Is it the solinod? or the motor? Do I want to pull it down and check the brushes again?

have you check that you are getting signal from hand piece

if you swaped the two main powers around and work in and out i would not think it would not be the motor possible the solenod is not switching or hand piece not signal not that i no much about winchs but two heads beter than one

if the motor works both ways then its not the motor. Probably the solinoid, what type is it?

Ive went through and undone and cleaned up all the terminals and seems to work now
