Warn winch solenoid?
Hi all,
Warn HS9500i. Getting ready for Silver Lake dunes this weekend and I tested the winch...seems like the solenoid doesn't want to engage immedately, it clicks for a second or two before the motor will turn. Seems to do better with the engine at speed. If there is a load on the cable, it the solenoid tends not to want to engage fully, so the motor doesn't get enough juice. I opend the solenoid housing but there is no obvious problems, although one small connector (not the main wires) on the driver's side is rusty. I am thinking a new solenoid pack is what's needed. Never had this happen before. While at SL I will try someone else's controller switch, to rule out the switch. Any suggestions? matt -- --- Matt Macchiarolo mlmacchiarolo at comcast dot net AIM screen name RTI1182 "We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty." -Edward R. Murrow |
Re: Warn winch solenoid?
You are describing rusty/dirty connections. I would clean them all up,
at the battery end too and see what happens. Starter solenoids with dirty connections act the same too.

Thanks Mike, I know the battery connections are clean, I'll clean up all the
connections in the solenoid pack... "Mike Romain" <romainm@sympatico.ca> wrote in message news:41782B3E.C3894851@sympatico.ca... > You are describing rusty/dirty connections.
