So I am having some issues with my Viper Winch install. I have followed all of the directions, but when I push the in button, the winch winds up very very slow and has almost no power.
I have the Ranger running while trying this, so I don't think that is the problem. I thought that it was a loose connection possibly somewhere, so I went around to each connection to tighten them a little. Tightened everything on the winch, and the winch connector. I then went to the solenoid, tightened the ground nut, then did the same on the positive.
Plink the bolt breaks, so now I have no electrical at all. I am ordering a new Solenoid tomorrow, but will not be able to work on it until Friday. It seems that everything was correct, but you could actually pull hard enough against the rope that the winch would not have enough power to wind it up. Any help out there on this one? This is a new Ranger, so I can't imagine the batter being a problem, and it cranks the ranger with no problem.
