So going through winch saga again on another powerwagon. My first one was an 07 and the pins rotted /corroded...... Now on my 2019 the winch stopped working as well.
- Used it about 2 weeks ago to winch my friends plow truck up a driveway he was stuck on. DIdn't overwork the winch at all, and when done sucked winch back and all was good.
- Now my tractor got stuck in the snow, went to winch it out and nothing. No clicks on solenoid, nothing.
Thought maybe a pin was messed up, they all looked good.
Tried another winch controller - same result, no solenoid engagement
Power at the battery going to winch
I did find power in the 5 wire plug - curious does anyone have a diagram on this?
Where should I test next? Currently winch is still in the truck, no heat in garage and it's been 0-30deg, and will be for a few months.
Anything else to troubleshoot before removing winch?
On the newer Zeon winch are there writeups to bypass the Thermal OL or Low Voltage OL?
If by chance winch is actually shot, can I replace with a normal Warn 12S Zeon? Then this was be done with those above mentioned OLs.
