I replaced the selonoid pack on my warn MX8080 today. The last time I used my winch, I over-used it and melted a lead wire from the top right selonoid to the far left pole on the winch top. I figured I had burned out the selonoids, since it wouldn't even click.
I wired the new selonoids exactly like the old ones, still no dice. Just a click. Then got the idea to try jumper cables on the power in's on the winch. Still no luck. It's getting good ground, but putting +12v to the poles does nothing. Pulled the motor off, smelled a little burned inside.
Do I need new brushes? New motor? New winch?
I may just sell this winch and buy a new one.
