Terra Dog Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hi all, I was just wondering how many solenoids my Husky Superwinch 8 uses. The wires from the winch go into a box under the passenger wing which I presume is where the solenoid/solenoids are housed? The reason I ask this is because the other day when using my winch it stopped winding in and would only wind out. Because this happened I was told the solenoid has gone. Will it have just one solenoid to do both winding in and winding out? The controler lead goes into the box under the wing aswell. Are they easy to replace? Also i've noticed that my winch is noisier that other winches i've heard, it is quite an old winch but I checked the gearbox and it's mint inside with plenty of greasy oil. Would it be the actual electric motor thats creating the noise? Cheers Terra Dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 There are 2 soleniod can type, one for out & another for in, most convert to Albright sealed unit soleniods for better reliability, me included, there's a connection diagram in the tech archive.

Terra Dog Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 OK thanks for that. Is there any way of testing the solenoids to find out which one is caput? I have a multi meter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 you can swap them over so the 'suspect' can is the wind out as you know the good one works that can be the wind in for test use.
