ZIKOMO Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I recently decided to refurbish the Warn XD9000i winch on my 97 110 CSW and discovered it was cheaper to buy a new replacement motor from eBay than to get the original overhauled. Unlike the original however, the new unit has two light gauge brown wires with bare ends which when I asked the supplier about, I was told connect to the thermal overload but if I didn't have one to just ignore them . . . . . So, as I assume these wires would normally have a circuit breaker across them, should I just splice them with a butt connector or should they be left disconnected but the bare ends insulated and sealed? I'm hopeless when it comes to electrickery and don't want to short anything out - especially since the car was delivered with the winch wired direct to battery!

Jon White Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Just cut them off. They are not required. No need to insulate or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
