Warn PowerPlant problem
My PowerPlant took a dump. Neither the winch or compressor work. I hear clicking noises when I try to pull line in or out. It still free spools fine in both directions. I tried bypassing the thermo sensor ( Warn Powerplant Quick Fix - ) and still no luck. The light on my controller doesn't light up at all either.
Anyone have any idea what it could be? I'm not the original owner, so no warranty for me.

I had a different problem with my five year old Warn PowerPlant (now seven years old and running just fine). It would spool out, but not spool in. I contacted Warn and they sent me these instructions. The solenoid was bad. It is not cheap--around $230 IIRC.
While I had the PowerPlant apart I also regreased the gears. The lever for shifting direction had become very stiff and almost impossible to move. Took care of that, but boy there are a lot of tiny, complex gears inside of that and they all will fall out if you're not very careful!
