the clicking sound might be from the control relay, you could have burnt up the motor.

So does that mean the winch is no good. Do you know what the circuit thing is resistor

what modle winch do you have. 2.5ci or the 2.5ce
find that out and ill call up warn and find out what could be wrong with your winch. also on the motor side see if you can smell the motor. if it smells burnt then its major repair.

theres something diffrent with the braking, inside the winch...
CI has an interlock brake witch will slip if heavy loaded. the CE has an electric brake witch locks the motor so it wount slip with a heavy load.
