brushes in a kew 8000 winch

(1/4) > >>

Pookapotamus:
i just got this winch but it only works in one direction and some times cuts out, if i tap it with a hammer its starts again so i am expecting brushes. does anyone know where i can get a set? also i have completely rewired the solenoids but i am not sure if they are both working where can i gat a wiring diagram (seached the web but could not find a diagram that matched what i have) or where i can get some new solenoids?

i hooked it up on the bench when i first got home and it worked in both directions, then i started the truck and it would no longer work in one direction >:(, so i rewired to make sure all connections were good.

any help would be muchly appreciated :-\

Eagle Jeeper:
A friend of mine was having similar problems with a warn 9000 and i think he ended up running a heavier ground cable back to the battery.

Pookapotamus:
hmm i dont think this one even has a ground cable ???

it sounds pretty rough so i am going to open it tonight and inspect it.

Eagle Jeeper:
I have an 8274 it grounds through the case as a rule but I run a secondary 2 gauge line it works way better.

Pookapotamus:
well i will throw a groung on it and see what happens, cant hurt it! thanks!
