Winch wiring. Fuse, breaker, or straight to battery?
2019年6月22日 · A potential fire risk in the event of a front end impact or if the wire insulation somehow wears off the wire. A 2 gauge wire grounding out can cause some gnarly sparks and heat! Installing a switch in-line can also mitigate parasitic draw on the battery in the case there was some kind of fault in the winch control box.
Warn EVO series 4-pin remote wiring (SOLVED) - Tacoma World
2018年7月23日 · The whole point of the winch controller itself is that it's isolating the 300A winch draw from the rest of the wiring. In other words, the winch control wires are already (essentially) controlling a relay. Now, if you were to remove the relay box and wire your in/out buttons from the battery to the winch input, you would be doing the bad thing.

2020年12月26日 · The winch doesn't use the 400 amps unless it's under a load. Any risk of fire from a short is no more or less than any other short, so as long as you use proper gauge wire (bigger is better) and protect your wiring, it's fine. Also do the big 3 upgrade (search for it). When my truck sits for a while, I will disconnect the winch's battery cable.

2018年8月5日 · You have options. Personally I’d wire it straight to the main battery. When you add switches and breakers you are increasing the power loss due to resistance. As for the switch, find the wiring diagram of how the switch goes. Or open up the solenoid cover to see what wires you need to tap. Typically you’ll need a hot, winch in, and winch out.

2020年11月12日 · 2awg wire is nowhere near enough to run a winch. Especially not with a 20-25ft wire length. You need to be looking at 2/0, possibly 4/0. there will be a roughly 22% voltage drop with that load at that distance. This will drastically decrease winch performance and increase amp draw, making that small of wiring even more dangerous.
Warn M8000-S wiring - is it undersized out of the box?
2016年9月14日 · Hopefully a simple question, but something that's been bugging me since I bought a Warn M8000-S winch. The wiring between the winch, battery, and control box is #2 gauge wire.

Newbie Winch Wiring Question - Tacoma World
2020年1月27日 · An interrupter kit is the "safest" option. Turn off the winch cable when you aren't using it so it doesn't potentially wear through the insulation and short out. Most people don't run fuses on winch cables because it's a huge draw. It's going to be somewhere between 0 and 500 A depending on how hard of a pull you have.
Adding wiring for a bed winch -- fuse and ground location questions
2017年2月28日 · A bit OT, sorry, but may I ask how you are mounting the winch to the bed? I have a hand crank winch that I used in my previous truck (Dodge). The winch was bolted to several stacked 2x6 boards which were lashed to the forward cleats. The Dodge had huge steel cleats tied right to the frame.
