TROUBLESHOOTING

POSSIBLE CAUSES
Winch wires reversed.
Switch wires reversed.
Switch installed incorrectly.
Battery wires reversed.
Winch cable is not winded up from
the bottom of spool.
Vehicle's ignition switch is at OFF
position.
Broken wires or bad connection.
Control switch is inoperative.
Relay or breaker is damaged.
Limit switch is damaged.
Winch is damaged.
Weak battery.
Poor battery connection.
Winch is damaged.
Recheck wiring with the owner's manual
Connect it on battery posts (+ and -) of a functional battery.
If there is no light, the tester is damaged.
Test both connectors
If light comes ON in both positions (IN & OUT), the switch is
operative.
When it is working, there is a "CLICK" sound when the control switch
is activated. Check connections with HI/LOW voltage tester.
The ultimate test is to connect the winch directly to the battery and
reverse the wires to test both directions. If the winch doesn't work, it is
damaged.
When the limit switch is pushed or stuck inside, the winch can't raise
the accessory, only lower it. If not replace it.
Check the voltage on both terminals on the breaker with the HI / LOW
voltage tester. If not replace.
