lanny man 90 · Feb 21, 2011

on Sunday while at silverdale the winch stopped working an was just clicking from the solenoid..(was only used twice) an when i got home it was working again this also happened about a month ago( was only used once)so not over heating/working it to hard.. there are no loose wires that i can see

any help would be appreciated thanks

probably a dirty contact in the high power circuit.... bit like a corroded starter motor earth

mine did the same on Sunday, it was the soliniod wire and the live from vehicle battery to the split charge relay had rubbed through there insulation and were shorting when using the winch remote it knackered the relay and winch wouldnt work because the winch battery couldnt charge

the 827a is one of the most robust and favoured winch by people in competition

the 8274 on my rr has the giglepin gearbox conversion
and is almost bomb proof

you must have a dodgy connection or worst case scenario is the motors fooked

on my last xd9000i warn winch it just started clicking from the solenoid,so i replaced the solenoid,still the same,removed and cleaned all the earths and connections still the same in the end it turned out the motor was gone and i replaced it job done

it did sound a little worse than usual but i thought it was just me being paranoid al check all the connections again tomorrow if not it looks like a new motor sounds better than a rebuild

thanks to every one for your advice much appreciated
