Warn power interrupt kit - switch question

[ShadowsPapa]

I carry a couple of those blue furniture blankets from harbor freight. They are useful in so many situations. I figure they would be of sufficient weight for a winch line.

Yeah, whatever is used needs to be of sufficient mass. Some light-weight throw won't do it.

Here are a few photos of the Accessory Plate that I have to offer. I do have these in black powder coat now, those are the ones on the website. I still have a few in raw aluminum also if that is something you would prefer.

Have you had the chance to test these on a diesel yet?

I see no issues having the interrupt switch right next to solenoid until you wire up your in cab aux.

The use case is to power the winch when you need it, and stop it in case of an emergency (I.e. the solenoid on the actual winch gets stuck or frozen in the on position). Whenever you want to use the winch just pop open the hood and turn it on with the temp warn switch, and be ready to kill it if needed. Here’s my interrupt solenoid mounted next to battery. I have the interrupt solenoid wired to aux 2. I got that bracket at Home Depot for a few bucks.

I found @ShadowsPapa missing 10mm socket! ?

My winch interrupt kit has been sitting in the box for 18 months. I really need to install it. I have the aux switches but will probably use the Warn rocker switch in the cab so I can keep the aux switches available for more unnecessary lights.

I got you beat! Mine's been in the box since I got it for my LJ back in 2011. I should probably get around to installing it this year....

I have not but if you want to help me test let me know. I have some in raw aluminum still that we can work a deal on!

Yes I am down. Raw is perfect. Switch to dm?

Being that we have both a 21JLURD and a 22JTRD, I'd be interested in the results.
Us diesel owners sometimes get neglected.

Not to cut in, but I'd be interested in helping test if needed.

I have so much aluminum and steel stock on hand and often run batches of customer parts through powder coating I prefer my own custom-made stuff to fit how and where, and I can change whenever needed.
I found a blue powder that's pretty close to the color of my truck and plan on powder coating my solenoid bracket blue after I mode it a bit to make it more sleek.

I'm torn on leaving the plow isolation circuit bracket I made polished aluminum like I made it, or color it blue powder.......can't see much of it anyway with all of the wires there.

But this one is going to get tweaked and made blue to match the truck -

Really like the addition of the Mega fuse block! What amp fuse are you using?

I shall keep this thread updated. I think there's a dedicated thread on this plate as well.

I'm shipping one to 22EcoDs today, so we should know for sure this week. I am pretty sure it will work.

That's the snow plow fuse - 200 amp.

I have since re-routed the cable to the fuse.

Thanks for the response. At first look I thought the fuse was in line with your winch circuit. I have thought a fuse in the winch circuit would be a good idea. Not sure what amperage the winch draws.

i used the Powertrays universal over my diesel fuse box, it works perfectly for us diesel guys.

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.

Please add me to the list for a JTRD plate for my 21 too.
