Ok, so i went out today to op check my winch before i go out wheeling tomorrow. I hooked up the winch controller, un hooked the line, put it in free spool to let some out, lock it back to power and attempt to power in.

Sparks fly out of the side of the motor and nothing happens. In disbelief i try again. I can hear the solenoid clicking but nothing moves. Its wired correctly, i have used it before but it has sat for a while.

The winch is a Warn 9.5 Ti.

Any ideas before i tear it off and start to tear it apart to see what happened?
