    Winch wiring question

    Been working tidying my engine bay up lately. Million cables all over the joint. Got me thinking, can i wire my winch straight to the body oor the chassis. I see there always wired straight to the battery is there a reason for this?

    Yes, well in most cases anyway.

    All your other 'factory' electrical equipment is wired that way even the Starter Motor uses common return.
    Just make sure you have good earths.

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
