Need Advice on relocating a winch solenoid box
#11
Nice write up maxspongebob. I relocated mine above the break booster with welding wire. Shop around for the wire before you buy. I went to elec stores and got a very wide range of prices. If I had gone with the first place I would have spent double. One thing to keep in mind is that heavy wire can be a pain to work with- especially considering the size of some of the end connectors you need to bolt onto the solenoid. Depending on the stud orientations it may be a tight fit. I should have paid more attention to this when I purchased my connectors. I had to cut out part of the solenoid cover to make it fit back on (and not that great at that). Not that it can't be done but be prepared that it may take more time than it appears.

I used the Warn power interrupt kit just to kill power to the winch, not to relocate the box. Mounted the solenoid by the battery and used switched power as the trigger so no one could just reach in and turn it on.

This is from the top - gave up on the last wire and it just exits out the back of the cover.
Circuit breaker next to battery.
