My T-max winch is giving me some issues and wont reel in any line. I am hoping to figure out what is wrong and what can be replaced to fix the issue. Here is what is happening in the video:
0-5 seconds- Winch on free spool and remote button "out"
6-9 seconds- Winch on free spool and remote button "in"
16 seconds - clutch placed in
21-24 seconds - clutch in, winch remote button "out"
24-28 seconds- clutch pops out of in and goes to free spool
29 seconds- put clutch back in and hold it there this time
35 seconds - clutch in- winch button "in" no movement of drum. Solenoid sounds like it clicks, power draw from the battery present as you can hear the motor of the car bog a bit
45 seconds- winch button "out" and the drum turns
47 seconds - winch button "in" still no movement
I'd like to find out why I can't spool the winch in with the clutch engaged- this left me partially stranded on a trail this past weekend. What do I need to look for? what tests need to be done to find the faulty parts and replace it?
