Winch woes
My fabulous winch died, just when I needed it. The relay **** itself. The second one to go. I took the control box apart and tried to disassemble the relay, but two of the screws were so tight they would not shift. I have bought a new relay, at about a third the cost of the a new control box. The relay is rated for 500A, the winch will draw 280A max, so a nice margin. About a year or so ago I took the winch apart and cleaned and re greased it, no sign of water entry. I think the relay may have got stuck through lack of use.
