Hi,
I have Trek #33 and have 2 problems going on related to the Trek mods: 1, I can't power the winch. Where on earth is the solenoid switch? I have the exact same winch on my Ram truck, but it has the remote solenoid, and the switch is easy to find. I can't see the top of the winch. Is there some trick to this? Unfortunately, this was one of those situations where the dealer had no idea and I thought I'd figure it out later. Now, here I am 2 years later and still can't figure out how this winch works even though I have used the one on my RAm several times without issue. The second problem is that my overhead floodlights are no longer working. I have checked power at the switch, the relay, and the switch itself. When I turn the switch on, I hear what sounds like another relay near the swich clicking, and then power to the switch shuts off like something overloaded. The main relays for the light bar and floodlights are near the fuse box on the passenger side, I have swapped them and the bar light works with either relay. Any ideas welcome. Thank you!

 

We have #18/70 ‘22 TReK. Are you having an issue with your wireless controller operating your winch? Or are you having an issue with no power to your winch? Your flood light issue might be from a shorting or grounding issue. You may have to fully trace the lines and isolate each leg with a bypass line to find the fault.

Our treks are still under warranty…

 

I agree that our TReKs are still under warranty, but I personally wouldn’t be comfortable having JLR diagnosing/repairing aftermarket parts that JLR doesn’t routinely service. I believe all the TReK parts were installed by a private firm (Lucky8?) and not like JLR port-installed items.
