Warn 4255 Winch Relay / Solenoid (12V / 24V) Key benefits Reliable operation for winch systems: Rugged construction provides consistent, long-lasting performance under heavy use so your winch responds when you need it. Superior electrical performance: Silver alloy contacts deliver good conductivity and stable switching for reduced voltage drop and dependable engagement. Built to last: Thoroughly inspected and solidly manufactured to resist mechanical wear and maintain operation over time. High-capacity switching: Designed to handle heavy loads without compromise, reducing the risk of relay failure during demanding tasks. What it does and why you need it Replaces or upgrades the electrical switching element (winch magnet/relay) in Warn-compatible winches operating on 12V or 24V systems. Ensures reliable motor engagement and disengagement, protecting both the winch motor and vehicle electrical system from inconsistent switching.
