![]() ![]() ![]() Myself I'd run it on the pos side, as my line of thought is a metre or so of constant live cable to winch from the pos side, has a higher risk to short than live solenoid terminal points. And I am welcome for others to fill in the gaps. I can be a shocker at explaining things sometimes, so if there is any confusion still. As you will also have a negative feed from your battery to the engine and chassis.īut with the positive isolated, there is no positive ( power) down there to complete the circut. Submersed the negative can be bypassed up through the bar and chassis. If you had the isolator on the negative feed. Getting this part totally wet is amost identical to hot wiring a starter motor. Where the signal wire power comes into place. The contact poles/terminals on the solenoid are the issue here. Let it idol for a bit before you have your celebrational beer after getting out of that ditch. One thing I forgot to mention is after a decent long work out with your winch, dont turn your vehicle of for a while, as these things suck some serious juice out of your battery. Good point!Īnd yes it's been that long since I've seen the beach, I forgotten about salt water! Maybe best just for bush 4x4's. It would be like an angry brown bear climbing up a tree. A simple seperation if you ever need to split the bar the vehicle. So up high and dry in the engine bay.Ī male and female 7 pin trailer connectors are a good bayonet behind the bar, connecting blinkers, spot lights etc. Handy place for the isolator on the bar, but again if submersed, the current will bypass the switch. If you have an isolator hooked up through the negative, this can still happen with the negative running up the the bar/ vehicle.īut with isolating the positive, this can't really happen. Thus your winch can automatically startcranking in by itself, destroying the winch, and depending on where you keep your hook, bending your bar. WRONG again.įirstly, if you submersed you vehicle in a creek crossing, and you have no isolation, water can make a contact current to the negative poles on the solenoid(s). This is the standard way most vehicles will be wired up for total isolation. I noticed his isolator switch was connected via the negative pole. ![]()
