Warn 2.5ci wench problem

[SamIamfromNC]

I left the remote on a few seconds after the cable had already come in. Now it won't take a load and makes a funny sound when I'm reeling in the cable by remote. Any simple solution or has something broken inside the gears? I have the parts list and schematic for it. I looked inside and could see nothing obviously broken. It looked too involved to remove all the gears inside so I closed it back up. Still does not reel in as it should or under load.

Might have burned a pole in the motor from stalling, and you might smell the result. It would 'growl' and lose power if so.

I think you're working on the wrong solution. Wenches frequently respond to ribald attention, sometimes money.

Sorry for the typo. I meant winch...not wench. Fingers do not obey me at all times anymore and the eyes do not catch their mistakes...Or was it just the crazy spell check going on.

Sounds to me like you need a new wench. The old one has had it...lol

My visiting mechanic son took it apart last night while I watched, fascinated, and he found no broken gears among the many it has. We will ck the solenoid next. He had replaced a solenoid in it last year with one from China that we had ordered. Different symptoms this time so he did not check it first. Will post any positive outcome of that check.

Anything from China is always suspect.

Believe winch should have overload circuit breakers so if strain is more than winch is capable of it should cut electrical supply.... Never tested concept to be sure with my JEEP/winch combination, I am just very attentive to winching operations...

As for the wench, after the divorce things got better....
