Winchmax Solenoid Test

- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- This shows how to direct connect the control terminals on a solenoid. It is a useful way to rule out any problem with wireless or wander lead remote. It doesn't test the function of the solenoid, but if it gives a reassuring ‘thunk’ with a direct connection the chances are it is working. We have found WINCHMAX solenoids to be incredibly reliable so you would be very unlucky to find one faulty.
I used my Winchmax today to pull out a tree stump and it stopped working. It has hardly had any use. The solenoid clunks like its engaging and the spool free wheels OK but it won't run. I think I may have overloaded it and If I had what could the problem be? I would appreciate our opinon before I pull it apart.
Hi, thank you for your message. If you think you have overloaded the winch, or burnt out the motor, the best thing to do is bench test the motor. Please email Winchmax directly (info@winchmax.co.uk) and they can send instructions on how to do this. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Many thanks - Winchmax Team.
@@winchmax1646 Thanks for your reply. I'll do that thanks.
@@tubemonks No problem at all, happy to help. Thanks, Winchmax Team.
i got a question about 13500 lbs winchmax ..easy pull on incline of 30 degrees stops after 25 seconds of pulling after 5 seconds works again..what can be a problem? i know can be wiring..
Hi, Thank you for your message. What you have described (intermittent function) in usually caused by voltage drop. This can be caused by a corroded terminal or more commonly by a bad earth. All 12v/24v winches need an earth direct to the battery (a chassis earth is not sufficient), this is always the first thing to check as its the number 1 installation error. Please let me know what you find and we can go from there. Perhaps give me a call when standing in front of the winch - 01986 899264, I would be happy to help. Thanks, Winchmax Team.
@@winchmax1646 thank you for answering ...and for support ...i was thinking to that but i didn't had time to move the earth lead from chassis to battery terminal...rest of all the winch is great runner...happy with wireless remotes ..never used leed one..
@@dubmmotors5698 Hi, No problem at all, happy to help. Please just let me know how you get on once you have re-positioned the negative to the battery - I am pretty sure this will solve the problem. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks, Winchmax Team.
@@winchmax1646 i will reply for sure..thanks for support.....😉
@@winchmax1646 the main negative cable it's on battery already.. the small thin black cable it's on bottom of motor ...i had a switch isolator on positive cable to cut of power when i don't use the winch..i removed that as we'll .now i hate to winch to se how behave..
