I have been down this road before with the solenoids. MAKE SURE when you buy these that they are 100% duty cycle!! I bought some cheap replacements that were not 100% duty cycle and when I used the winch for the first time the solenoid shorted out and I could not shut the winch off. By the time I got it to shut off it had burnt the winch motor up and kinked the winch cable real bad. Sometimes a cheap price is not good.

But, I thought the thing used the solenoids in pairs, wired in series as a failsafe? Ie: if either solenoid opened, the winch would stop, even if the other stuck. No?
Could it be a problem with the controller? If you unplug it, does it continue to pull?
Dunno...
