Windlass goes down but not up

[Black Valkyrie]

You'll need a meter and some wire to jump some connections to test this.

1) Measure between the points highlighted in RED to ensure you have 12 volts.

2) Using a jumper wire test the points in GREEN for continuity to ground (negative)

3) Using a jumper wire jump the points highlighted in blue

4) Using a jumper wire jump the points highlighted in yellow.

Make sure your jumper wire is minimum 12 gauge and also remember you are just bridging the connections briefly. Touching the jumper wire should make the windlass turn one way or another. Hold the jumper wire on too long and it will melt.

Great. Thanks. That seems impossible to do bc of the small access port but I guess I’ll have to figure it out.

That wire has a black and a red wire in it. Would both wires go in the new terminal ring?

Thanks!

No don't do that. That terminal is for a ground wire only. With no insult intended, the nature of your questions, tell me that you should seek the help of a pro.
