Why does my Ironton Winches motor run slowly?

  Heather BarrettAug 10, 2025
  If your Ironton Winches motor runs slowly or lacks normal power, it could be due to insufficient current or voltage, loose or corroded battery cable connections, or incorrect power cords. Try these solutions: 1. Recharge a weak battery and run the winch with the vehicle motor running. 2. Clean, tighten, or replace any loose or corroded battery cable connections. 3. Ensure you are using only the supplied power cords.

  If your Ironton Winches motor only runs in one direction, the cause may be a defective or stuck solenoid or a defective switch assembly. Try tapping the solenoid to loosen the contacts. If that doesn't work, repair or replace the solenoid or replace the switch assembly.

  If the Ironton Winches motor doesn't turn on, here's what to check: * Ensure the switch assembly is fully inserted into the connector. * Tighten all nuts on the cable connections. * Charge the vehicle battery completely. * Try tapping the solenoid to free the contacts, and directly apply 12 volts to the coil terminals to check for activation (a clicking sound indicates it's working). * If these steps don't resolve the issue, you may need to replace the switch assembly or check for voltage at the armature port when the switch is pressed. If voltage is present, the motor may need replacement. Also, ensure that water didn't enter the motor and allow it to drain and dry, running it in short bursts without load until completely dry. If the problem persists, have a technician service ...
