So there ya go...
Clearly you can see that the negative wire is headed straight into the solenoid box AND the positive wire is (melted, scorched, elonngated)...but attaches to the ground of the winch motor.
Not GM's fault, Not Warn's fault.....just the guy who sold it to me. I won't say who he is....but he's a good guy and obviously just made a mistake.
All things considered, I got off easy. I need only to replace the one wire that melted on the winch and one wire that ran from the battery to the ground on the front bumper.
Hey guys...carry a fire extinguisher. If not for you, then perhaps for the other guy you see smokin' away on the road!
Now, let's never speak of this again!!!!
