My wife's new FJ cruiser came with an older looking Warn MX8000 . The connectors would spark when I used it and after getting wet wouldn't work. I cleaned the corrosion and they stopped sparking, but now both the connections on the winch motor get super hot when the winch is on. I checked my ground cable connections and cleaned the rust off but it's still very hot. Got so hot the wires melted the grill plastic behind the control box mounted to the bumper. The 2 posts are lose as well. they wont come out of the winch but I can rotate them even though the cable is on there tight.
What could be the issue here?
