Hi
I managed to get my old warn XD9000 winch working again.
I stripped down the motor and removed the 4 magnets from the inside of the motor casing.
the copper windings are wrapped in a brown insulating tape, which is a paper-like material.
it seems corrosion had breached this tape causing a short.
As a test i wrapped the wires with black insulating tape and put the motor back together and it works now.
but this tape isnt a long term solution, I would rather get hold of the correct tape for the job
anyone know what this tape is called and where to get it?
i found a photo on web of a motor and marked in red where the tape is
