Ok brainy ones, Mate has a 9500 Warn winch on his 100 series yota. He asked me to
check it with him on the weekend, it is locked in the dis-engauge and will not re-engauge. Now for the odd bit, it doesn't free spool and will only spool out under power and winch back in with it in this position.
My dumb guess is its locked into engauged in the gearbox even though the lever is in the dis-engauged position, as it will winch full weight of vehicle in this position.
Any thoughts ??

This is déjà vu for me..If i was your mate i would be guessing your talking about me lol...
I bought my Warn under 12 months ago as you roughly know..It a 9.5XP,I have only used it once as you know for about 10 metres at most but i cannot remember whether i told you that its stuck on engage.It will only go halfway round from engage to freespool,i have never tried to use it while its in this position,thats why it took longer in the gully that day because i could only unwind using a the remote....
Now last week i went into ARB and they quickly looked at it..Its booked in on the 11th this month.Now i said surely its under warranty and he said mate i am pretty sure it will be and i think i know whats wrong but we have to wait till we pull it apart and if its not a warranty job it will cost you $85 an hour..I dont know what to do,cancel aRB and ring Warn first ????? What would you do it seems to me its a common fault..
Hopefully someone here can giv some advice..
Cheers Mate

Now Warfer that is awesome,
Not you mate, unless that roll - lux is now a 100 series LMAO. I didn't know you had suffered the same problem, my mate with the 100 had it happen up on
Cape York, and its been the same ever since. Your right though a bit of a coincident 2
winches with exactly the same problem.
We will see what others say, maybe its a water thing, his had been underwater quiet a bit on the Cape and we know about yours, don't we LOL.
Maybe a call to Warn with yours isn't a bad idea.
