I couldn’t begin to tell you how horrible this winches I wouldn’t buy it if they gave it to me for 50 bucks please watch the whole video like and subscribe if you like it
have been running these for years and just ordered a bigger one for my car. have been flawless for me and even using their supplied wiring and control box, they have held up to some heavy work and longer than recommended winching times. it say you got unlucky or you did something wrong.
You have it hooked up backwards on the control box. Mine has been on my machine for 2 years. Not one single issue. Yea maybe some (cheesy) connection ends but what man can’t fix that.
so the winch is unhooked from the wiring,, and your touching the battery creating sparks.... its obviously NOT the winch that is the problem. its the cheap chinese junk relay box, try using the old relay setup instead. also its possible its just hooked up backwards. the spool is not supposed to lock 'right away'. the gears have to line back up to their splines.
Bro the winch isn’t even connected lol how is the winch junk? I’ve got the same winch and works great. Wires are cheesie like you said but I used my own wires. Only issue I’ve had is control box doesn’t last long under water or mud. Got maybe a year out of my first box and on the second one now. That’s to be expected though when it stays under mud or water most of the time.
good question I checked that but no that wasn't the case now I've gotten another one thinking maybe this was a fluke just as bad as the first one just complete junk
