winch help????

[ccrover]

help please?? i have a arb bull bar and warn xd9000 setup...

i just installed a new control box wired it up and turned on engine and plugged in remote control to winch.... pushed up and the winch worked... hurrray.... pushed down and a quick spark and then nothing.... oh boy what did i do ....

i forgot to wire the hidden power for the reeling in (whichever is pushing down on the remote)... it is concealed by the bumper.... so i wired that up to the positive terminal and all was done....

but now with the control all i get is clicking no turning of the winch.... did i blow some sort of fuse?? or did i do worse to my winch???

help please its my first time wiring this winch up too...

thank you in advance

Warn is good about customer service, I would give them a call as you may have done some damage. I would think they would be more then willing to help out.

Careful with the phrase "help with winch"!!!

hahah... yes i see my phrasing now! all is good that second wire was supposed to go to the negative battery terminal...

i guess the first time i started it up, it must of self grounded and then shut off...

luckily no damage and it is running fine...

thank you for any feed back.
