Hello guys,,was taking winch solenoid AND the positive wire off to get to ignition coil,,I accidentally dropped the pos wire on one of the winch nuts on the solenoid,,sparks flew for a few seconds of course. Melted the boot some on the pos wire & fried that nut just a little.
I put most things back,,started machine & checked all things worked,,didn’t check winch tho,,, & they did,,turned machine off,thought I avoided any major probs happening.
I was then gently pushing some wires up out of the way by the solenoid & the winch came on out of nowhere! WTH did I hit that caused this to happen? By the time I got the battery undone the cable had become wadded up in knots,,can’t pull it out & the winch doesn’t work now,,it “clicks” when ya push switch one way,that’s it. Machine runs fine & all else seems to be OK.
Alright,,,what have I done here?:sad is the winch done? Oh,,& I see no fuses seem to be blown
Sorry for the long winded post
