Installed a new Warn M8000 winch.
Set-up:
Solenoid pack relocated to bottle jack position in engine compartment using two mount points to mount to south-side headlight housing.
Relocated controller hook-up to the grill. Spliced 16 gauge brown wire for cut off/on switch to winch. Works perfectly fine. Solenoid ground 16 gauge wire (red w/eyelet) to underbody of winch motor.
Winch pulls in very weak and automatic/repetitive clicking noise in solenoid pack. Will not line out.
After contacting Warn, a rep e-mailed me and said based on my set-up and relocations, I must take the red 16 gauge wire/eyelet and connect it directly from the controller plug-in to the negative battery post.
I proceeded with this direction to no avail. same clicking noise and maybe even slightly weaker charge on the line in.
I must be missing something here or wired something wrong.:banghead:
Please help.
