Winch problems

[ANG3CHEAPSHOT]

I’ve got a 2003 M1123 with a front electrical winch. I bought the controller and my winch only seems to let out but not retract. Has anyone had this problems or have any recommendations to fix?

You purchased the wrong controller, the one for the milemarker hydraulic winch. Not a big deal. You just have to change the wiring on the winch side or controller side, your choice. There are only 3 wires. Pretty simple. Good luck.

Ok thanks. Not sure exactly which one I’m supposed to buy. I bought the 3rd one in the picture Crapgame posted. It’s black with the 3 pin plug. I’m going to take it apart and switch the wires and see if that works.

Ok I bought the 3rd one in the pictures you posted. I’m gonna follow the instructions and switch the wires and see if that works. Thanks.

That 3rd one is the proper one...no need to switch wires for the Warn electric winch.

Yeah so that’s the one I have but it won’t retract. Only lets out

Solinoids can go bad...and theres a overheat circuit that can go out.
If its the completly potted together assembly...good luck getting to solenoids....{ 12k winch }
If its a 9k winch...remove plastic cover for access.

You could use a small jumper wire to confirm whether or not your winch works properly before cutting any wires just to be sure. I still think you have the wrong controller.

Put a picture of your winch on here.

Those electric winches don't cost much, get two, they are cheap.
