Question Winch Need Help?

I got my new wire the other day and today i hooked the line back to the spool and was going to wind it up and it seems like it does not want to roll up it seems like no power but i checked the wires and they are still hooked to the battery? Any one know what would cause this?

I have a Warn M8000

make sure you have the freespool clutch engaged also check your ground at battery and the little one that grounds the selenoid box also check all the selnoids inside the black box you plug your remote into
