cheers gents, very helpful. its one of those new warn controllers with the inbuilt torch (that doesnt work either though) how would i go about checking the button?

A bigger hammer that one looks a bit wimpy

ive just finished installing my winch on my 90, its a warn 9.5xp with a albright solenoid in the engine bay. yesterday when i was winching i was pressing the winch in button on my controller and nothing was happening, no winch movement and no clicking from the solenoid, after 4-5 times pressing the button the winch kicked in but it continued to do this until in the end no matter how many times i pressed the button on the controller it would not wind in, if i changed the spade connectors over on the solenoid for the in/out it would pull in on the other button on the controller no problem atall so i believe the winch is not too blame, my question is does this sound like a problem with the solenoid terminals or the controller? and how would i go about checking which is the cause?
