I have 2 used Warn M8000's. The one that I installed on my truck worked by directly hooking to battery the the day that I installed it. A couple months go by and I finally get a control box together (homebuilt) but now the winch doesnt work. I cleaned up the armature from my spare and the inside drum of the original and mix matched the 2 and added some dielectric grease. Still the winch doesn't spin when connected by jumper cables and no spark! how can I correct this problem? I could clean up the matching armature if that will make the difference but I dont know for sure. There is a very little to no spark when I cross the terminals on the winch. a-f1 and a-f2 both before and after the switch...
edit. Brushes look like new still the only thing I can see is there is no insullation around the windings on the stator any more. every thing else looks good....
