  If your Bushranger Winch isn't operating, there are several potential causes. It could be due to a cut circuit (check the battery lead), a weak battery (recharge or replace it, ensuring it's at least 650CCA), bad wiring connections (reconnect them 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).
