my brothers mate txt me the other day while at work, and asked for a pull.

he had got his (old mans) ute stuck on a hill which then slid down the back into some pines. the hill was soaked.
after a couple attemps with the snatch strap decided to winch him up, only to find the ####### winch aint going. (is there a fuse with a winch? it makes a clicking sound just dosnt unwind)

in the end used heaps of sticks and pulled him to the top.

here are some pics

I bet those muddies are getting even higher on the priority list now

The clicking noise your hearing is the solenoids, not a fuse. You may need to just clean the solenoid connections or replace the solenoid packs.

mine used to click because the solenoid was stuck a swift bash with the side of a stick used to sort it for a trail fix

ive taken all the gears out and im soaking them in deisel, tomorrow night i will grease em all up and put them in and see what happends.

solenoid are?
