Jar solenoid to free contacts. Check each solenoid by
applying 24 volts to coil terminal (it should make an
audible click when energized).

plug from the socket and jump pins at 8 and 4 o'clock.
Motor should run.
Jump pins at 8 and 10 o'clock. Motor should run.
Cooling off periods are essential to prevent overheating.
Check battery terminal voltage under load. If 20 volts or
less, replace or parallel another battery to it.

If clutch is engaged but problem still exists, it will be
necessary to disassemble winch to determine cause
and repair.
