People Hi,
I have bought a secondhand Superwinch Husky and genuine Land Rover parts winch bumper as a set from e-bay. The winch came with the standard "Barrel" type solenoids and not the heavy duty Albright ones.
I have removed the Husky winch from the bumper (was surplus to requirements) and yesterday tested the winch.
I applied power feed and ground to the black and red thick wires (the original wiring was included)
And then tried to operate the winch.
The solenoid clicks nicely and the motor starts whining and the drum moves to the one side. Trying to do the same for the other side only results in a nice and loud (as supposed) click from the solenoid.
The funny thing is that for the first two tries the winch was moving on both sides. And then movement to the one side stopped eventhough the solenoid clicks when activate for either side operation.
The drum moves freely when in free spool mode.
Reversing the power feed gives exactly the same results.
I would be gratuful if someone could propose something.
Take care and thanks in advance Pantelis Giamarellos
