Mechanic Walter was already waiting for me (7.45 AM) and he plugged in the computer to start looking for a solution to ‘uncouple’ the winch from the parking brake. After trying to get into the system multiple ways he said: I just cannot overwrite this, we have to find another solution.
Bummer! My hopes immediately flew out of the enormous garage door. But Walter said: ‘I will ask Gunther to have a crack at this as well’.
It turned out that that Walter and Gunther are pretty much the ‘dynamic duo’ when it comes to problem solving. Walther has a lot of computer knowledge and Gunther is a mechanical ace, so together they are a real dream team.
They started talking and philosophising about the problem, had some ‘problem input’ from RP and at one point Gunther jumps into the cab, starts the engine and is just playing around with the controls.

So great to see the winch problem fixed. And even greater the solution is fixed by just a proper instruction.
Best is that you share it! I always find it questionable that such a small group of HX owners does have members holding back information. Not saying that this was the case for the winch problem. Maybe a lot of winches are decoration yet.
Great Blog!!!
