Warren winch trouble

[Dutch]

The last time I went to use the winch on my side by side , I pulled it out hooked it up and hit the switch.  Nothing happened.  I am totally non mechanical.  Anyone know where to take it or what to look for?

Pretty typical, they never work when you need them because they don't get used enough.   

Contacts on the switch are all green and corroded.  

Disconnect the battery, open up the switch, clean the contacts with a wire brush and WD-40 then reassemble the switch, and hook the battery back up.   You should be good to go until it sets again unused for a month or two. 

Some units have a push button breaker, but most have an auto-reset breaker that resets itself after the circuit cools off.

Thanks I will have a look next time I get back down there.
