Help, my winch has issues.

Whoopenburg · Nov 19, 2012

My superwinch talon 12.5i has been working perfectly until yesterday when it desides it only wants to work one way. It will reel out but not in. I've been told its probably the solenoid but can anyone tell me how I can prove this?

Oi WLM 1Pw ?

What you reckon

swap the feeds over on the solenoid. if it works in the opposite direction only then it's the solenoid. if it dun;t it's a dodgy connection.

Thanks. I'll try that tomorrow.

Most definately

Right, swapped the feeds over and yes it did work in reverse. My hopes went up and started to reel in the cable. But then disaster strikes and it packs up reeling in. It did seem to be on and off at first. But now won't go in or out. I got a multi meter on the two feeds and I've got 12.5v on either cable when the appropriate button is pushed. Any ideas?

Sounds like motor brushes.

Mine worked intermitantly and I found out the motor was full of crap. Then the solinoid melted, all is better now tho,

Wire the winch up as Paul d did in one of his videos to check the winch, if it works then its your solinoid,

Forgot about that ..

Negative from the battery is on the negative pole on the motor, you can see the rest!
