Thread: Winch Solenoid Upgrade

I finally got around to fitting the Aldi Winch I bought a couple of years ago and find the Solenoids are clicking madly when winching in and out. I thought it was a poor connection or low batteries but have tried different batteries and the connections are all good. I think its a bit late for a warranty claim . Researching the web I see there are different rated old type solenoids the biggest being 100 amp continuous, so I thought can I upgrade a solenoid set up from the old type to the solid state ones fairly easily and would I get instructions with it to do it.. I've spent an hour trying to find instructions on line with no luck
New type


This is the old type that I have



Thanks, David

Chris,
Thanks, the wiring diagram puts my mind at ease.
Just need to swap some terminals on the little wires by the look.
