Came across a bloke, stretching his new winch rope today in a park, during our bike ride. Said gday and had a chat with him. Flat ground, 1 click on his hand-brake and this thing was still struggling. Slight presence of plasticky burning smell too. He says his "mate" helped him install it.
I had a quick look and couldn't believe it. The main Negative cable was not there. The burning smell was the tiny ground cable coming out of the control box which was hooked up to the winch Negative. That was completing the circuit and literally melting!
As i was tracing the cables, I couldn't work out where the big positive cable wemt as it wasnt on the main battery... I assumed there must be a second battery somewhere. Probably hooked up there .Where's the second battery? Well, there isnt one he replies. So where the hell is the positive going...
After some more tracing, again I couldnt believe it. The big positive out of the control box went straight to the back of the alternator.
He rings his "mate" there and then. His "mates'" theory is the winch is bolted to the bulbar/chassis so its technically grounded, why bother with a cable. And the back of the alternator is obviously the best source of juice.
I hastily said farewell when the bloke sad "But he's helped me wire up others things on the car really well....."

You wouldn't farkin read about it.
Ordered a adjustable LED suitable flasher and received some kind of 24V heater thing.
I don't read corona language so don't know what it is, but I can see how easily they can confuse the 2 they are vastly similar items in looks and size ...

To their thinking, when it catches fire you get light... Have you looked up the part number? It might be worth double what you were forking out for the LED.
