last weekend i was winching a :rb: cj,and the winch started acting up.
i was using it quit a bit since the guys t-case crapped out,and he was'nt liking the spot it left him in.
it started to slow way down,and acted like it didnt have any juice. checked all conections let sit for few minutes. try again.it worked good for a few then got slack in the cable wich managed to ground out on 1 of the winch selonoids(poor setup for controls now being changed).
got winch going again,and was able to free cj,and manage to recover my brother inlaws fj40(long story). dang heavy rigs compared to my tin can.
next morning before heading out. i go to respool the cable. spooled it out, but when i went to spool it back in. all i got was a loud click,and the engine almost stalled. checked all conections. everything tight,and good. try again. same thing loud click engine almost stalls. unhooked cable,and winch went wheelin.
charging systems seems to be working just fine. winch is a old warn 8274 has always been good to me.and is necessity like we all know
any thoughts?
do i just need a new selonoid maybe?
how do i determine wich1?
thanks for any help :beer: !
