  Your Bushranger Winches might not be operating due to several reasons. It could be a cut circuit, in which case you should check the battery lead. A weak battery (less than 650CCA) could also be the cause, so recharge or replace it. Other potential issues include bad wiring connections (reconnect tightly), a damaged contactor (replace it), a cut circuit on the switch (replace the switch), damaged motor or worn brushes (replace the motor or brushes), or faulty motor wirings (replace the wirings).

  If your Bushranger Winches motor is running extremely hot, it could be due to a long period of operation; in this case, allow it to cool. Alternatively, the motor itself might be damaged, requiring replacement or repair. A damaged or inoperative brake could also cause this issue, so consider replacing or repairing the brake.

  If the motor of your Bushranger Winches only runs in one direction, it might be due to broken wirings or bad connections; try reconnecting or replacing the wirings. Another cause could be a damaged or stuck contactor, which would need to be replaced. An inoperative switch or faulty wiring could also be the problem, requiring replacement.
