My power cable got loose, rubber a pulley and shorted out.
Just replaced it, when put back together it pulled in about 1' of line, I let off the button on controller and then pressed it again (needed to pull in just a few more inches) and it made a clicking sound and would no longer work.
Took control box off and put it back on again and I got the clicking again for a second and then nothing. Clicking sounds like a solenoid like when starter solenoid goes bad. Sounded like may have been from winch body rather than control pack, but can't be sure.
Control pack apart, everything looks good, all wires/nuts tight. Starter for motor works great/battery good.
Winch cables connected directly to battery terminals.
With the control pack off, that leaves the three big studs exposed. Can I run a jumper cable from (+) directly to one of these to power the motor (ie. to determine if motor or control pack is the problem)? If so, which one? One powers in, one powers out, third ground???
Have an ARB Bondi bumper and winch can't be removed without taking off the whole bumper. So if winch motor or an internal solenoid is bad I NEED to be sure.
