Tigerz 12000 issues

Has anyone else experienced these problems with their 12000 that can help me or should i get onto tigerz and see what we can work out?

My Tigerz 12000 was great to start with but now its only done 6 recoveries and the wireless remote is playing up pulsating and not working when i want it to. I went to use the hand remote for the 1st time and it doesnt work at all.
The wireless works fine sometimes and then others its useless, push the buttons and sometimes 4 through up to 8 pushes to get it to work, other times it wont work till the next day? The battery was changed out with a spare i have in the glovebox and it wasnt the problem.

Any thoughts?

We sell the tigerz and their has been a few issues with the recievers, you really need to contact who ever you purchased the winch through to get some answers.

I had some issues with my control box, the remote and water. Turns out the control boxes with the remote receivers in them were not a good idea, I spoke with tigerz and they exchanged mine for a unit that has had all the remote crap removed and not a problem since.

I would get onto it quickly as they only offer a 6 month warranty on controllers.

I am having similar issues with my wireless remote, however I think in my case it is the battery contacts, as when it works intermittently or doesn't work the red light is dull or flickers.

My winch is just over a year old but has only been used a few times. I have emailed Paul to see what he says.

I also had a problem with the switch to activate the remote. It seized solid - despite meticulous cleaning and heaps of WD40. I replaced it with a sealed marine toggle switch.

if you are down my way and want to try a different wireless controller let me know. mines for the older 10,000 but cant be too different?
also i think i still have an unused spare.
my 10,000 works a treat after a couple of years. but it doesnt get wet all that often.

There are remotes on ebay,
but was told there more of a gimmick then useful, but the winch itself I have had no problems...
But im looking into a in cab switch setup.

hey man i had the same problem with mine it did the same thing it ended up being the brushes in the moto having a bad contact to the armiture cause of water gettng into the winch pull it apart clean it up with some wet and dry and electrical cleaner and when u put the winch together try and make it water proof as best as u can buy using silicon to seel around were it join togther and elvery were else were water may get in to the motor

I had a similar problem when the terminals came loose on the switch on the control box to switch between the wireless and cabled controller. Cut them off and soldered the wire directly on and there hasnt been a problem since.
