Well after retracting my steps. I found the issue. Broken earth wire on the engine loom under the intercooler. I must have knocked it at some stage during the injector or intercooler instal or removal.
Lucky I saw it, the broken wire had dropped down and was hiding under the manifold.
Now to remove the new fan assy for a replacement.

Awesome news Mr Mark we’ve got to happy when we find an easy fix like that cheeky little wire

I’ll be sure to try “retracting my steps” too, is that just like a Michael J Moonwalk backwards around the vehicle once or twice for good measure?

Haha yeah. Stopping for a moment, listening to what Phil said I was like, there’s only one earth point under the dash, where could it be?

So I started doing the “moonwalk” and found it.

Listening to Phil is enough to make anyone moonwalk around backwards 🤣

So I spent a good part of the day at Matfew’s place. He was kind enough to assist in the cable making of the winch. This guys needs a medal. Love his work.

Just to show everyone the size difference in cabling, this next shot my finger is underneath the winch power cable from the TJM OX winch that was removed, which is now used as an auxiliary extension lead. You can see the size of the replacement cable attached to the +ive in the pic. Messive bro!

Now I’m to doubt myself. I have pre wired the cable cab winch isolator and winch in/out switch. I have the in/out wires there the solenoid under the dash. Does this pic look right? Should the +ive batt wire I have in the pic be a constant power source or only when the ignition is turned on?

Am I seeing right ? You're running your winch with that cable on a 70A breaker ?
