NEW U.S.A. WINCH SOLENOID WARN 12 VOLT HEAVY DUTY 28396 72631

Easy install and worked great. Mounting holes were different on the factor warm but it fits

I used this for 80's jeep winch control which blew up by a sort inside the the motor but i got the motor fixed and had to replace the solenoids. These are smaller than what i had but they work like a charm. Good apm rating, heavy duty and easy to work with. I had to make some new cables and fully modify the motor driver unit but these worked fine.

When it worked, it worked well. As soon as it was placed under a heavy load, the solenoid got extremely hot (too hot to touch) and simply failed. Assume it burned up and shorted out internally due to the extreme heat build up internally. More interestingly, the temperature was only @ 60 degrees F out where is was being operated. Would have been a bit easier to understand if it would have been a 100+ degree day. My "return window" has closed about 3 weeks ago - my luck, so now the first time I actually got to use it, it failed.

These were a direct replacement for the four solenoids in my 1970’s Warm 8274, Easy to install because all wiring and jumpers are the same as original. I upgraded to 2 AWG wire from the solenoids to the motor. I had ordered the new style solenoids from Warn but they are a different shape and require a new backup plate and different copper jumper links. It’s a lot of work and money to retrofit to the new design. These value priced Chinese solenoids worked perfectly (no grounding problems and wired exactly like the original design). Time will tell if they will work in the long run but solenoids are not complicated electronics. My old ones lasted over forty years and only an electrical fire from engine ruined them. I think these will work fine and are so easy to install.

Did not come with nuts , must be a girl

Work great but had to trim the meatle plate to make them fit but these are nit a warn product we see in time how long they will last

These solenoids work great but did give me some heartburn. I only needed to replace one and it didn't work when wired like the original. In fact, NONE of them worked when wired as the original. I discovered that the switch body/metal mount does not work as a ground like every other solenoid I've ever installed on anything. There are two small poles on the switch and one is the "hot" pole to activate the solenoid- the other actually has to be wired to ground for the switch to work. Many Ford solenoids have that 2nd small pole and it is used to activate a light that indicates "starter engaged". That pole is never used in most solenoid applications. After discovering that none of these 4 solenoids worked when grounded to the mount, I almost returned them. I decided to try one with the second pole to ground and it worked. There's no info sheet or wiring diagram included- so it's all seat of the pants troubleshooting. Once I figured that out they work great.

This solenoid worked perfectly on my 22 JLURXR with Warn winch I installed so I could hook up my #4 aux switch to power it on and not have it powered on all the time directly connected to the battery.
