My winch controller shorted out on me so I went to go and order a new one. I discovered that they run from 100 - 150 plus shipping. :eek: So I decided to cut it apart and see how things work and if it is fixable.
I started with cutting the body in 2

I found numerous broken wires

I stripped the the broken wires and crimped on new connectors

Now that all of the wires are reconnected I started to prep it to glue it back together (be sure to op check before you glue it back together)
I glued it back together in all sections that could let water into the body.
