ok i bought a ramsey 8000off a buddy whose dad runs a wrecker and the truck was in an accident and knocked to motor off the winch....i put power into the winch andwhen i jump the switch (screwdriver in remote holes) all i hear is clicking...

like i said hte motors studswere broke...all i did was put ti back together withthe magnets on the rotor or whatever its called and see what happened.

im looking at anew motor correct?

I am not familiar with that model but it sounds about right. All the motor is is a starter on my Warn. The clicking would happen if the remote is not providing an in or out signal. Just a guess though.

there is no remote...the part that it plus into...has the 3 prongs, constant power and 2 for the switch rev adn forward? i was just jumping them with a screwdriver...

i only paid 25 for it so im not to bummed about needing the motor and stuff.

Gotcha. Not a bad deal either way, the cable would be at least that.

As far as the motor look for a local automotive electrical shop, they can usually rebuild them for much cheaper than buying one.

There's gotta be an automotive electrical shop with a Romaine account that can get you the armature. go to Romaine electric on the web and you can search for a local shop. Save you some money, and it will be a local shop.
