HOW TO KNOW
POINTS TO CHECK
Poor connections.
Recheck wiring with the owner's manual
HI/LOW voltage tester does not work.
Connect it on battery posts (+ and -) of a functional battery.
If there is no light, the tester is damaged.
The control switch inoperative.
Test
both
connectors
with
HI/LOW
voltage
tester.
If light comes ON or the relay is clicking in both positions (UP &
DOWN), the control switch is operative.
Relay is damaged
If there is voltage on battery wire posts 1 & 2 on the relay and no
voltage on posts 3 & 4 when control switch is activated and relay is
clicking in both directions, the relay is defective. (see relay assembly
section in owner’s manual for relay post identification). Check
connections with HI/LOW voltage tester.
Winch is damaged
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.
The limit switch is damaged.
When the limit switch is pushed or stuck inside, the winch can't raise
the accessory, only lower it. If not working properly replace it.
The breaker is damaged.
Place clip of the HI / LOW voltage tester on negative (-) post of the
battery. Check the voltage with the tip of the tester on both terminals
of the breaker. If voltage only on 1 terminal replace the breaker.
(sometimes it could take a few minutes for the breaker to
automatically reset itself)
