Used the Warn Winch under load for the first time. Not long owned the TJ, but winch installed quite a few years back so assumed all was well with the set-up, installed by retail dealer back whenever. Big earth cable back to frame from the winch but standard weak stainless steel strap remaind. End result of loaded use, 5 second puff of smoke, as the earth strap from the motor to the frame ( R side of motor) fried itself, then resulting in roasting the main computor and other O2 sensors, leads, plugs etc, etc...
Cost to replace/repair........ bugger me, second hand computor $500.00+ alone, then all new heavy duty earth cables and one back to the battery from the winch now as well......................
