Winch Troubles

[MudRunnerTD]

yep as 04OFF stated mate, try and swap the wires. Generally when you loose a direction on your winch it is a bad solenoid. The box on top has 4, if 1 is faulty then you will loose a direction.

If you have swapped out the solenoid box and still hve the same trouble i'd be borrowing a Hand Controller off a mate and plugging it into yours and see if your controller has a broken circuit in it??

Do as 04OFF stated or bypass the Solenoid box and use a jumper lead and hot wire the winch to see if it will go both ways?? The Solenoid box is a switching circuit to allow you to switch down a massive amp load from the hand controller to the winch motor, thats all it does, hot wiring the winch will show you if it works at least and you can rule out the motor.
