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?
