Nice fix on the winch!

[@FMJeeping]

Thanks Bug!

[@freshappliancerepairs7213]

Those torque bolts are you to hold the magnets in do not touch them

[@FMJeeping]

@@freshappliancerepairs7213 thanks

[@thebeeps8450]

Congrats on having a 100 subs guy! Well I thought you were at 100.

[@FMJeeping]

Lol. I had 100 when I went to sleep last night. Woke up to 99. Lol. I had a feeling that was going to happen

[@U_Kamrc]

@6:00 If el. configuration is "field and rotor in series" you must connect one side of field to rotor and try the other to Batt(+) (with housing to Batt(-) ) And trying rotor connection to Ubatt(+) w/o sparking means brushes or rotor are bad.

[@FMJeeping]

Good call. Thanks!!!

[@gibsonfan159]

A video of the rebuild would've been great.

[@FMJeeping]

You are right. I don't know why I didn't include it . It was a few years ago and I don't remember the circumstances on why I didn't film the rebuild.

[@johnkreiner7842]

Great video I have the exact same winch but mine turned out to be a broken pin in the controller. Its looking to be impossible to repair so most likely I'll need a completely new controller

[@FMJeeping]

Hopefully you can find a controller online or a replacement.

@@FMJeeping i found one at my local 4x4 shop $94 but im back in business.

[@Idahoprepper71]

Those are not the brushes. Those are the magnets you were trying to undo.

[@FMJeeping]

Thanks!!

[@noelrodriguez6337]

So I’m having a problem my winch doesn’t feed out wire but it feeds it in what can be the problem ?

[@FMJeeping]

I would check the switch or the solenoids. can you hear the motor turn on when you try and feed the direction that is not working?

[@mikeczimskey8974]

Brushes are under the back cover, not under star bolts on the side. Didn’t try to jump correctly

[@FMJeeping]

You're probably correct. I tried a bunch of different ways to jump the motor and nothing worked. Turns out it was shorted out before I got it. It was rebuilt and worked like a charm. The electric controls were fine.

[@noelrodriguez6337]

And when I try to feed it out it doesn’t click how it would when I feed out wire

[@FMJeeping]

That could potentially be a bad solenoid or your switch

[@NickG]

Nice save, are you gonna mount it on the rear bumper or buy another Jeep?

[@FMJeeping]

Sold the winch to buy more Jeep parts.

[@danhambrick6331]

Nice job.So how much money do you have in this refurbished winch?It is almost as good as new now...

[@FMJeeping]

The rebuild was a little over $120. It was more than I wanted to spend. If I were to do it again. I think so should have went with the generic motor replacement.

[@hayleyhoskins4132]

When I plug my switch in my winch begins to run

[@FMJeeping]

If it doesn't run by itself with the switch out. I would look at the switch or the connection for the switch. There is a short there somewhere.

@@freshappliancerepairs7213 good tip. Thank you

[@freshappliancerepairs7213]

Your a blanket order repairman, basically you don’t know what your doing so you order everything and expect costumer to pay for your incompetents

@@FMJeeping Here is real news for you. The people whom have already bought and paid for there new world will own every square inch of soil on this planet after there manipulation of nature has run its course through humanity and nature. They are the Jesuits in control of the land air and seas. There millitary is global. Non other can compare to them. They are the physician s,the medical industry the scientific community and energy lords of mankind. When madcowvCJD brokeout in european cattle and sheep herds in 1994 and across the nation, infected animal products were being made available to consumers the the whole time they were telling everyone that you can't catch the disease from eating products from these animals through 2005. In 2009 scientist warned the cdc the who the fda and the wef that madcow disease has a 30 year incubation and to be prepared for an outbreak of human prion disease beginning sometime in 2025 through 2026 and prepaired for this disease to kill billions while filling citys with of the dead through 2030. scientist say only the use of small 5-G satelite guided nuclear incinerators will be able to destroy this disease plauging the northern hemisphere and will require burning the citys and northern hemisphere into ashes inorder to dispose of the human and wildlife carnage aswell as sterilize this disease. scientist say antartica is the only safe place to avoid the poisonous atmosphere,extreme heat , falling satellite debries and the following sub 0 deep freeze that will last around 10 years. The millitary and compony have prepared deep underground facilities for refuge during this period of destruction and rebirth of nature. The northen hemisphere will be impacted by millions of satellites and debrie from falling from orbit with out the computer guided griound support systems once the power grids are disabled. Scientist do Not expect one living thing above ground or in water to survive above the equater. Scientist say it will be over with and will be like nothing unatural in the northern hemisphere ever happened by 2050.
