Why Champion 100440 Winches motor does not turn on?
- EefaulknerJul 27, 2025
There are several reasons why the motor might not be turning on. It could be due to a switch assembly not properly connected; ensure it's fully inserted into the connector. Check for loose battery cable connections and tighten the nuts. The contactor might be malfunctioning; try tapping it to loosen the contacts or apply 12 volts to the coil terminals directly to check for activation (a clicking sound indicates proper function). A defective switch assembly or motor can also be the cause, so replace the switch assembly or check for voltage at the armature port when the switch is pressed, replacing the motor if voltage is present. Finally, if water has entered the motor, allow it to drain and dry, then run it in short bursts with a load until completely dry.
