Hello all, I have recently acquired a Warn MX8000 winch. After hooking it all up to give it a test, it did not work. I did some troubleshooting, found that the motor works. After hooking up the solenoid again and tapping on them (there are 4) it kicked on. Therefore a solenoid issue? I gave Warn a call and the solenoid is no longer available. Being this is more of a "budget build" winch (it was given to me), I would rather not spend the $200 on a Warn Contactor Pack. This winch is old and has been used, but has been sitting for a long time (my guess is many years), but after opening it up it appears to be in good shape.
My question is: Is there a solenoid available that will meet the requirements of this winch? You can buy Warn #68379 and #28396 all day long, but will they work for my application? If so, what wiring differences could I expect?
Thank you for your help / insight.
