Re: Warn HS9500I wiring
Right now I've got it on a bench with a test battery nearby. I'm
running the ground cable from the battery to the winch mounting bracket
and grounding it that way. Is this perhaps the problem? Where should I
be running the ground cable to?

Re: Warn HS9500I wiring
Mike, as I've said, I had the motor taken apart by an electrical shop
and new brushes, etc. installed. I can't confirm what they actually did
in there but when I function test the motor via by-passing the
solenoids, it works in both directions.

Re: Warn HS9500I wiring
Clicking normally means the solenoid is energizing, just the output has
issues.
Bad brushes can draw too much juice and arc out solenoid contacts. If
your solenoids open up, they usually can be cleaned or the contact bolts
actually flipped around to give a new surface. On some you can flip the
main contact washer too.
If you can't open them and have verified the output connections are
clean, then you might have to replace one.
I haven't had my warn HS9000i apart but if it's wired like Bill's
diagram, then I would first suspect circuit C for dirty connections.

issues.
Bad brushes can draw too much juice and arc out solenoid contacts. If
your solenoids open up, they usually can be cleaned or the contact bolts
actually flipped around to give a new surface. On some you can flip the
main contact washer too.
If you can't open them and have verified the output connections are
clean, then you might have to replace one.
I haven't had my warn HS9000i apart but if it's wired like Bill's
diagram, then I would first suspect circuit C for dirty connections.

Re: Warn HS9500I wiring
Again I will ask, what was wrong with it before, or did it just go in
for a 'tune up'?
My Warn HS9000i has two power wires, a positive cable to the battery and
a negative cable to the battery. I do not believe they can work without
the negative cable to the battery.....
'If' the brushes were bad and it quit working or got really slow, then
the solenoid contacts can easily be arced out so now they won't pass
power any more.
Do you have a multimeter? It is really easy to see if the solenoid is
passing power out that way.
