  Ashley AlvaradoAug 9, 2025
  Your Ramsey Electronics Winches motor may be running hot due to several reasons: * Extended operation periods: Cooling-off periods are essential to prevent overheating. * Insufficient battery: Check the battery terminal voltage under load. If it's 10 volts or less, replace the battery or connect another battery in parallel at the motor terminal. * Inadequate electrical cables: Ensure the electrical cables from the battery to the winch are of the correct size and capacity for the voltage. * Poor electrical connections: Inspect all connections for looseness or corrosion; tighten, clean, and grease them. * Insufficient charging system: Consider replacing it with a larger capacity charging system.

  If your Ramsey Electronics Winches motor only runs in one direction, the possible causes are: * Inoperative or stuck solenoid: Jar the solenoid to free the contacts. Check by applying 12 volts to the coil terminal; it should make an audible click when energized. * Inoperative switch: Disengage the winch clutch or remove the armature lead. Remove the switch plug from the hood, raise the connector cover, and short the bottom two pins with a screwdriver. The solenoid should click. Short the two left-hand pins; the other solenoid should operate. If both solenoids operate, check for a broken wire in the switch cable. * Broken wire or bad connection: Check for loose connections on the switch and switch connector.
