What to do if Smittybilt Comp Winches motor does not turn on?
- AaliciamezaJul 28, 2025
If your Smittybilt Winches motor doesn't turn on, start by checking if the safety switch is in the ON position. Ensure the switch assembly is firmly connected to the connector. Inspect the battery cable for looseness and tighten the nuts on the cable connectors if needed. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the solenoid might be malfunctioning; tap it to free the contact while applying 12 volts directly to the coil terminal to see if it clicks. If not, the switch assembly or the motor itself might be defective and need replacement. Also, check for water in the motor, and if voltage is present at the armature port when the switch is pressed, consider replacing the motor.
