Had a problem with winch not pulling in but letting out. Read for fix.

Problem was the solenoid. Disassembled solenoid and the T shaped pieces that are supposed to go up and down by coils to power winch were jamming in slot. It was because the quality control sucks and WARN winch did not debur the pieces after stamping. The rough edges causing it to hang up in the slot and not meet the contacts flat or not at all!
After filing all edges smooth it works 100% now. Also make sure the electrical connection bolts are tight to body of cover. They were not on mine and that also lends to poor connection internally.

I had to get back to snow plowing so could not wait for part and no dealers around here so glad I got determined to fix. Hope this helps people out there!
