I am needing some help with my winch to make sure that I routed the wires right, i mean the way I did it , it works but I jsut dont want to damage anything


I ran them from the control box into the grill and to the left in the little upper hole by the radiator, will the wires be ok there or do I need to relocate them , I dont konw much about anything, will they get hot or hte radiator get hot?

That sounds like the same way I ran mine...

I didnt run mine through the grill because I figured it would rub the paint off the grill. I wrapped the power wires with black plastic wire cover to prevent UV damage. Ran the wires under the left side of the grill and weasel them into the engine bay. Like a glove!

Mine is wired the way you mentioned (through grill and around upper left of radiator). Had it about 8 months now. Works great.

one other thing

do I need dto have some sort of fuse in between the battery and the winch, cause right now I just got it going start to this

reason I ask is because I remember a fuse being on the CB

I don't have a fuse. Winch instructions did not call for it.

Any others running without fuse, this seems a bit dangerous but maybe I dont know enough about winches?
