Tetsu0san Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Hi all I have just purchased a Warn XD9000i winch which has been sat on the front of a truck for nearly 2 years. I connected a battery and connected the controller and all it does it click. Also, the clutch was set to engaged and it won't move back into the disengage position. My question is are they user serviceable? Can I just open the thing and give it a damn good clean and it will be OK, or are they pretty much f**ked if they are like this? Many thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetsu0san Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Nice one. I spent all morning looking for something and didn't find that. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Might be worth printing it out in case his site went ever went down. It looks like a fantastic guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 That's a superbly documented rebuild. Looks like the XD9000i is near as dammit the same inside as my ancient M8000, excepting the solenoid bridge of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsu0san Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Just to let you all know, I finally got around to pulling the winch apart and found most of the cogs full of dirt, dry grease and some fairly unsightly rust. Spent this evening cleaning, oiling, greasing and got it back together earlier and it works a treat!! That guide on servicing the winch was very usefull, but I found it not to be very hard to do anyway. Once you see how it all comes apart, it is pretty easy to get it all working again. Cheers to all though. Should really have taken pics and done a guide on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
