Windlass Operation

[Oceanis 440 NY]

Ahoy again mates, 

Hope your nearing ready for the season. I have some upgrades and maintenance so hope to be in by Memorial Day. 

With reference to the subject of this converstation, which many of you have opined on in the past, would appreciate any further light you can shed on the operation of the windlass for the mid 90s (Marion, SC built) beneteaus. 

I determined the make and model to be Horizon Express made by Simpson Lawrence. I have the wiring diagram supplied The wiring coroded up and inside the outer shield in the anchor locker and was replaced. The solenoid was replaced and the handheld remote male/female adapter were also replaced at the bow. We tested at the end of fall and it was working. 

Went to test and finalize and there was no turnover or signal from handheld. The only factor is that the engine was not on, Battery Banks were on and as well as the switch for the windlass, the breaker was also on. My understanding is that to test, the engine is not needed, but is to run it. Will test again when I have engine breakers on. 

My question is whether there is another relay along the way some where that I may be missing? 

Thank you,

Jon
