Warn Winch

i have a Warn Winch...i think it's a 10,000 lbs. the sticker's pretty jacked up when i got it ( on the truck when bought). it worked when i purchased it then had a battery problem ...i think. everything was working great then i took my truck in to the shop to get my lift done. after the lift my winch quit working, my overhead liar quit working, and my sound system wasn't working properly. bout 3 days later found out the terminal on the battery wasn't on good. ended up breaking ALL terminals included the Large positive one. had to replace all of them, run it to the starter and everyting. Over head came back on, but the system now has a "buzz, or humming" comming from teh woofers. i've tried several different grounds, noise deletes, just about everything, still no cure. as for teh winch when i use the remote it clicks to the box. but does not respond down to the winch. i've check power and ground their good. this was about a month ago. i tried again couple days ago, and i saw sparks come out of the box when i clicked the switch. i'm thinking it might be a solinoid. what do yall think ? thanks for the help.

Solenoids are common issue. Most of manufacturers use starter solenoids that are design to work few seconds at the time.

I think your winch has a curse, and i would never let the Folks who put your lift on touch my truck again. You better go over everything they touched.
