draper40 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I recently bought a 5-pin warn winch for my xd9000i and was testing it yesterday. It was only working about one out of 10 presses and so I measured the resistance and even when closed it is about 2 ohms. Is there a solution or should I just send it back? Thanks Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 AFAIK it's just a switch so resistance should be next to nil when the switch is closed, unless somebody knows different. I've not dismantled a Warn one but I have dismantled 2 other sorts and I'd be very surprised if there is supposed to be a resistance in the circuit. If you connect up the remote to your meter and press the switch and then wiggle it a bit does the resistance vary? I reckon it's 'cked anyway, unless you've got it wired up wrong (I'm not sure how the 5 pin ones are wired up mine had 4 pins) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogMonster Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Just a thought, you didn't buy a Milemarker remote control by accident did you? Working for one press in ten is about normal for those so there may be nothing wrong with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
