There is a solinoid fitted down behind the battery ...i would start by checking there .

You have to remove the battery to get to it

Is there any special servicing you should do on the winch from time to time?

USE IT!

Lack of use kills them! Electrical conections corrode, springs in bushes corrode, lubricants do not get moved round... Etc. Result: does not work the first time you try to use it (normally in front of a crowd!)

Seems I will be ok them.

The way I keep getting stuck at the moment its getting lots of use.

The biggest issue I have is I cannot turn the lever to freespool. Anyway, dealer is going to look at it as it's under warranty.
