Title: Winch not working? any advice
Post by: Stinky Pete on November 03, 2011, 02:11:48 PM
I have a viper 3000lb that doesnt seem to be working at all. I used it last to hold the atv tight to the trailer when coming home and worked fine when I parked it in the garage. A couple weeks later I took it out of the garage and the winch wouldnt respond for me to use to attach it to the trailer? Any Advice? Is it broken completely? Or is there just not enough battery to get it going, even though the atv turns on just fine? Thanks

I'd start with checking the conections making sure they are clean & tight. Then move onto the relays.

You may have a bad Contactor,look at all your connections as a 1st step,you should be able to get a wiring diagram from their web site or Warn's a Warn should have the same diagram.
