If the KFI Winches motor runs slowly, or lacks normal power, it could be due to insufficient current or voltage. Try recharging the battery or running the winch with the vehicle motor running to ensure a strong charge. Also, check for loose or corroded battery cable connections; clean, tighten, or replace them if necessary.
How to troubleshoot a KFI Winches motor that doesn't run but clicks?
If the motor of your KFI Winches does not run but the contactor makes a clicking sound, the wiring may be incorrect. Check the winch wiring diagram to ensure all wires are correctly connected. The hand remote/mini rocker switch wires must be connected green to green and black to black. Also, hand tighten nuts on all cable connections to fix loose battery cable connections. If the problem persists, it may be due to water in the motor; allow it to drain and dry, then run it in short bursts with a load until completely dry.
What to do if my KFI STEALTH motor is overheating?
If your KFI Winches motor is overheating, the winch may be running for too long. Allow the winch to cool down periodically.
What to do if my KFI STEALTH Winches motor runs but the spool doesn't turn?
If the motor of your KFI Winches runs but the spool does not turn, rotate the clutch cap to engage it. Alternatively, the coupler or shaft may be broken or stripped, in which case you should replace the coupler or shaft.
What to do if my KFI STEALTH motor doesn't run and there is no click sound?
If the KFI Winches motor does not run and there is no click sound from the contactor, check the winch wiring diagram to ensure all wires are correctly connected. Also, check the connection to an ignition fed source to ensure it supplies 12V with the key on and the vehicle running.
Why does my KFI Winches spool turn in one direction only?
If the motor of your KFI Winches runs, but the spool turns in only one direction, check the wiring diagram and verify that the switch wires (black/green) are properly connected and making good contact. You can also try tapping the contactor to loosen the plungers. If the issue persists, consider replacing the switch assembly.
