Questions and Diagnose Tools:

Q: Why is winch randomly stopping while pulling load onto trailer?

A: It sounds like the circuit breakers are getting hot and opening the circuit, this could be because of age and usage.  Remove the circuit breaker and try the winch to see it the issue still continues. Removing the circuit breakers for troubleshooting is acceptable, but must be replaced to protect the winch motor under normal use.

Does the winch/solenoid ONLY click when trying to power out?  (Could be if powering IN if the symptom was the revere direction)? 

1. If the solenoid ONLY clicks in one direction and works perfect in the other direction, issue could be the solenoid need replacement.
2. If the solenoid clicks in both directions, double check ALL wire and cable connections.
3. Double check the Battery is fully charged and has 12 volts and the amperage in the battery to power the winch.

Second diagnosing process to confirm if the solenoid needs replacement

1. 1. Change the White and Blue wire on the solenoid, (BE VERY CAREFULL) this will reverse the winch’s direction.  OUT will now be coming IN and IN will now be going OUT.  But this will confirm if the solenoid has a one directional pole/contact failure.
