I bought a winch for my xj that looks exactly like that only it's the 6000. Brought it to a mechanic and he said my motor was bad. Even still I guess it's a 100$ fix

Very rarely have I seen a bad winch motor. Usually nasty planetary gear sets and bad solenoids or wiring. Heavy duty electric motors like that are pretty hard to kill unless they've been seriously overheated.

Either solenoids or wiring/connection. You should at least hear the solenoids clicking.
Could be the remote... I'd start testing things with a meter.
I'll give ya $50 for it.

Should this switch work the winch too. I've never seen one this old with a switch on it? I'm going to check the wiring thanks lowrange for your help...i suck at electronics

That switch was added by a previous owner.
The white wire from the remote should be hooked to the same post as the wire going to the battery. Is that black wire going to the battery?

Do you have the winch motor grounded?
