A winch moves in and out in directions, which the tachometer<\/strong> can monitor on the side<\/strong> of the motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To test a winch solenoid a wire is connected solenoid of the winch with the battery and will try to move from its set position when power is applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The charging power moving from battery to solenoid is 12 volt,<\/strong> and if it is malfunctioning, it will make a clunk sound. This will continue for a few seconds then stop as the current running through the solenoid drops below 3ma.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Attach wires from motor and battery to the solenoid Run the motor for 1-2 seconds<\/strong> after connection Turn off motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check voltage across solenoid after 15 seconds<\/strong> When the voltage falls below 3ma stop the motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, there should be no sound coming from the solenoid, but this should be kept in mind .<\/p>\n\n\n\n If any fault arises during testing, they must be diagnosed first<\/strong>, only then if required further action can be taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have done this properly, your machine will not show any faults in operation, and it will operate smoothly for years to come.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The clunk sound should also stop now, as the current flowing through the solenoid has stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to check whether your machine is working fine or not, just disconnect the solenoid from the battery and connect .<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Check again whether there is any clunk sound; if yes, what could be the problem?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are several reasons why the solenoid of the winch may have stopped working. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some reasons for such problems:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nComplete Procedure:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
