My Harbor Freight 9500 lb electric winch has worked fine for a couple of years. Lately it has had issues, when using it to pull a vehicle on the trailer it will work for a few seconds then stop. Each time I wait about 3-5 seconds and it will work again for a few seconds, It will pull the vehicle on the trailer but takes much longer of course. The last 5 vehicles it has done this. I checked and cleaned all the connections to no avail. Could it be one of the relay's? If so, how to test? shruggy


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
