If your KFI Winches motor runs slowly or without normal power, it could be due to worn brushes. In this case, you should get a replacement End-Cap #A-CAPKIT. Another possible cause is loose or corroded cable connections, so clean, tighten, or replace them.
What to do if my KFI STEALTH SE45-R2 contactor clicks but the winch does not run?

Why is my KFI STEALTH SE45-R2 Winches motor overheating?
Your KFI Winches motor may be overheating because the winch running time is too long. Allow the winch to cool down periodically.
How to fix KFI Winches that runs only one way?
If your KFI Winches runs only one way, it might be due to a defective or stuck contactor. Try tapping the contactor to loosen the plungers, and then repair or replace the contactor if needed. It could also be a defective switch assembly, which would require replacement. Another reason may be a contactor issue. Double check your winch wiring diagram to ensure all wires are correctly connected.
What to do if KFI Winches motor runs but the cable is not moving?
If the KFI Winches motor runs but the cable isn't moving, ensure the winch is engaged by rotating the clutch cap to the “engage” position. Another possible cause is a broken coupler or stripped shaft, which would require you to replace the coupler or shaft.
