Yeah I will somewhere. Photobucket has created kaos across the forum. At least 5 years of my post would of have been hosted there. Can you quote me there and I will see if I can back door it to find the specific image on my photobucketQuote:

On thread.. Anderson connectors under the bonnet, just connect when needed.
I use one of these on the negative post of the battery to isolate the winch power ...........
Is it viable to put a switch to the controller wires rather than the bigger winch to battery wires?
That way it is only a small switch and nothing works if the controller isn't active.
yes that is what i was saying. Much easier to do.Quote:

I bought it back when the exchange rate was a lot better, I've since removed it from the Paj and will install it in the Patrol when I get around to it. Makes it easy to flip a switch in the cab for winch power and with it off there is no worries about a high current live wire to the winch being on 24/7. A simple isolator will do the same thing, but what can I say, I'm a lazy bastard and I don't need to lift the bonnet to flip a switch
Agree ^^^^
If you want to go to the bother of isolating then IMHO the hi-current is the go.
Accomplishes the same as a switch in the lo voltage control circuit but has further advantages.
I would think you would still have an earth path via the bullbar/winch casing and earth strap from battery? If anything this isolation should be on the positive I think.Quote:
