Good information! I will keep this in mind should I ever install a plow or other High amperage mod. The plow is really unlikely. I am in Southern California and the only snow I see is at Disneyland going up the Matterhorn!Depends on the winch. Some at full power pull well over 400.
I run a cable from the battery positive to one side of the winch solenoid.
From that same terminal, I go with a short cable up to that plow fuse.
That way I'm using one cable to power both winch and plow since they will never be operated at the same time (not physically possible anyway)
Then of course from the output of the solenoid - to the winch.
Both the plow and winch have negative cables running up to the battery. It would be nice if I could tie the winch negative to the plow negative and have one single ground cable going up to the battery. May consider that some day but it would mean a junction out there "somewhere" so again, maybe not.
