    Winch problems just started...

    Ive never had a winch before, so i dont know what is wrong. The winch was working fine, then today i went to turn it on & it just goes "CLICK" , like when I hit the switch it makes a single click noise, which sounds like it's coming from the box that the power wires connect to.. Power and ground run from the battery to this box and then from this box 2 wires run to the winch.

    Clean where your main power wires go to the battery. You have a bad connection most likely, if not the contactor is bad.

    Is it an older conquest? Mine does that every now and then, check the wires on the back of the winch switch. They have a habit of working lose sometimes.
