You forum folks are like a collective motor genius, so I have come to you.
I may just have a bad motor, and maybe I should just replace it... but, before I do, I at least want to exhaust my abilities at repair. Thanks for any help.
Warn xd9000i, about ten years old
Symptoms (over its life):
1 Worked fine
2 Started occasionally not working
3 Stopped working
4 Shook it and connections and it spun a little
5 Stopped working again
6 Got to where it would just click upon engaging
7 Tried the direct power method (A-F1; A-F2; etc.) and it would still just click; then, once it spun, then it stopped sparking spinning or clicking altogether
I pulled the motor off (assuming that's the thing on the left), and it won't click, spark, or anything now.
I have heard mention of "coils" and "brushes." Is there something else I can do in this motor to possibly replace something to get it maybe running again? It seems to me that I can't make it not work any more than it's already not working.
