Barney Eaton Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Anyone have a Futura trailer? The collection I visit regularly has one and it has an issue. It is up and there is a car on the trailer. It will not lower, a quick noise from the winch when you try to lower. The caretaker has called Futura and they claim they have never had a problem with the winch. We have by passed the electronics and relay and the winch makes the same noise. We have a plan for Monday after we get the car off the trailer.

Trulyvintage Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) It is not easy to do troubleshooting on a public forum rather than in person. The problem might be as simple as an open ground on the winch motor. Jim Edited April 9, 2023 by Trulyvintage (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted April 11, 2023 Author Share Posted April 11, 2023 Got the car off the trailer yesterday..... then got the trailer on jack stands so we could get to the "kneeling" mechanism. Turns out when we put power directly to the winch motor the winch is working. Something in the electronics is bad...... it has a wireless remote controller ...UP and DOWN When you press DOWN it tries to go UP The DOWN button does nothing. We have no schematic for the electronics...... calling US sales people today. Trailer is made in New Zealand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
