i have a badland 9000 winch that sat for a year and i tried to hook it up today and all i here is a little hum coming from the synod. it also clicks like its trying to engage. is my motor stuck or what how can i check if my motor is bad or not. thank you for all the help.
 
there are 3 cables on the winch motor at the top and the ground at the bottom. i tried to take a hot from the battery and all it did was spark alot

Being it says load hold ...I assume an electric brake ? ....so 1 lead is ground , 1 lead is brake, I lead is forward and ,1 reverse ???? Just a guess

yep thats what mine looks like to so if i go from the positive of my battery to ether of the leads on the motor red or black then somthing should happen so if it starts to spark should i hold it on there or pull it off real quick. i pulled it off real quick when i did it today i did not want to mess anything up ferther

1 ground (black on bottom of motor). The other 3 are power and control direction, but it's not as simple as you would think, and honestly it's a bit over my head.

If you do that, then nothing should happen. It takes all 4 terminals to run (or test) the motor. Negative from battery goes to black on the bottom of the motor. Positive from battery goes to black on top of motor. Connect the Red and Yellow together with another jumper cable and the motor should spin. To spin the motor the other way, Connect the yellow to battery +, then connect red to top black. I don't which way is "forward" and which is "reverse"
