Troubleshooting an M12000

I picked up an M12000 for a song, but it doesn't work properly

When I hooked it up to the battery originally it didn't work at all. After figuring out that one of the prongs on the controller wasn't fitting into the plug and fixing it, it started making clicking noises when I tried to spool in, but nothing when I tried to spool out.

I pulled the cover off the solenoids and hosed it all down with brake cleaner. Surprisingly the winch now works 50% of the time when I go to spool in, but still nothing when I go to spool out. I do get an ever so faint clicking sound when trying to spool out.

Any suggestions?

The controller I've got(5-prong) and solenoid box have seen better days cosmetically. Are these readily available besides directly from Warn?

Sorry if these are simple/obvious questions, this is my first winch.

Thanks
