Winch problem

[chrsbe]

My Winch regularly stops working. After switching off and on again both overhead 500amp switch and remote it works again. Had this several times with and without load. So it is not overheating i assume. Did you experience similar problems? Maybe a problem with the remote? Btw. where is the fuse for the winch.
Thx. C

You could winch right out of there no problem if you didn't have that tiny man standing on top of your car.

John Canny mentioned his winch cut out on him when he was on a trip. It stopped working. Two occurrences does not create a trend but lets see if others start having issues.

As far as I can determine the only “fuse” for the front winch is a 150 amp auto reset circuit breaker located in the engine bay next to the positive jumpstart post.

Correct and he mentioned Power steering failure and one other thing. they were all tied in together electrically/electronically, I believe.

A fantastic photo with the little Clergyman up there on the roof giving the last rites. It would be a worthy contender for the Photo Contest...brilliant...titled 'The Last Rites'

I have similar problem (winch power cut) while pulling. I had to flip the main switch to "reset" Dealer claimed they could not reproduce the issue (not like they would put the winch under load and test it...) I get apx 30 to 60 sec winch run time before each cut off...

I use a conservative duty cycle (15 seconds on, 30 seconds off) which is less likely to cause the 150A circuit breaker in the engine compartment (which works on amp draw over time) to trip.
