  If your Polaris Winch isn't operating, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the contactor is receiving power by turning the vehicle key on. Next, verify that the wireless remote is powered on. Also, inspect the connections between components to ensure they are in the correct order. If the connections aren't as shown in the diagrams, the system might not function correctly. Finally, check the fusebox for the 10A accessory circuit and voltage, especially on the orange wires near the steering post, to ensure the keyed power circuit is properly powered.

  If your Polaris Winch makes noise but the rope doesn't move, the contactor may be powered, but not the winch itself. If you hear a clicking sound when pressing the winch control but the winch remains silent, inspect the connections between the winch and the contactor. Also, verify that the winch is properly engaged in gear. If the winch is in gear and still doesn't move, it's recommended to have a dealer inspect it.

Why is my Polaris PRO HD 4500 operating too slowly?

  If your Polaris Winch operates too slowly, the issue could stem from incorrect gear selection or improper loading. Ensure the gear knob is rotated to the correct gear. Additionally, check that the winch is clear of obstructions, the rope isn't bound, and there's no excessive load pulling on the rope.

What to do if my Polaris Winches operates in one direction only?

  If your Polaris Winch only operates in one direction, the autostop fairlead might not be connected correctly. Check the connections. If the winch only operates outward, ensure the black rubber puck isn't touching the aluminum fairlead. If it operates inward even when the puck is touching the fairlead, inspect the connections of the Autostop control box. If it operates inward but not outward when the puck is touching the fairlead, check the wire colors at the connectors to ensure they match on both sides, in case wires have been switched.

  If your Polaris Winch makes noise but the rope does not move, it might not be in the proper gear. Rotate the gear knob fully into either the L or H position, and then recheck its operation.

What to do if my Polaris PRO HD 4500 will not change gears?

  If your Polaris Winch won't change gears, it's possible the rope is still under load. Ensure there's no tension on the rope and that it's not bunched up or bound inside the spool area. Try operating the winch briefly and then attempt to shift gears again.
