I have been looking high and low for a video that shows the correct winch wire routing in detail. This will help alot on my new winch install. Thank You
I did the exact same thing on my 2024 Rubicon. I did cut a nice little “U” shape in the red battery cover that lets it fit down a bit. Looks factory…👍🏻
@@TylerPotter I actually didn’t get the factory winch option. I installed a Warn winch about two days after purchase LOL. But I ran the wires just like you did…
I sat and looked at my engine bay for about 2 days on m '22 diesel for this same reason, I fished my big feed wires as far away from any moving parts and did a manual cutoff between the winch and the battery, yes i have to pop the hood to use the winch, but it's a small sacrifice for not driving around with a ticking bomb under the hood. It looks like you found about the same path, the diesel is kinda reverse of the gas engine, battery is same place though
Why didn't you wire the winch to one of the 40 amp aux switches nest to the battery? I'm a newbie, so forgive the question, if it seems obvious to you.
One of the best videos for routing I’ve been able to find.
I routing mine close to this but may go back and do it this way.

I'm sure there are a lot of good ways to run the wiring but this is how I always do it at the shop to keep it out of harms way. Thanks for the view!

Was yours also all wedged up near the dipstick tube?

Sounds like you did it right!

Because the winch current draw is typically somewhere around 350-470 amps.
sadly what he talk about is only viewable via thermal camera . And vehicule heat output make it hard to notice these big electrical misstake
Thanks for the view!
