UPDATE !
O.k, so its working ! But when i tell you guys how i "fixed it" you will likely say im either an idiot or full of crap... i tried hooking up jumper cables directly to the batery from the posts on the winch, to see if it would turn with direct power. It did not, it ark'd and the cables got hot, like if you were to hook poss to neg.. so i thought the winch must be "stuck" ... so i used a leather glove to cushion the blows and tapped the winch motor with a hammer all over it.. then i hit it with power and it turned about a quarter turn and stopped again, i repeated the tapping over and over again until when I hit it with power it turn freely in either direction , so I let out a whole bunch and then wound it all up.
Here's to hoping it continues to work in the future.
As always, Thanks for the help guys.
