Black swans are events with low probability of happening but large impacts. Worth a little insurance to further tip the scale in our favor and protect from the impact.
So it’s just a generic Ford style starter solenoid wired to the factory auxiliary switch that acts as a winch power disconnect? I’ll need to try and find the tutorial on this forum about that.
That’s looks factory clean! What bracket did you use?Just installed my winch and a solenoid wired to my AUX 1 button. This in a 2021 2.0. JLUR.
That guidance I would avoid at all costs. In fact I went even further by fusing my starter wire. It always bothered me that GM's factory wiring and grounds are horrible. They cause all kinds of electrical issues.
Couple of things make the winch wiring more susceptible to fire beyond the fact that most accidents result in front end damage: it's way out front and most folks don't run the wiring in wire loom to protect it from chaffing or abrasion.
This is beautiful work.That guidance I would avoid at all costs. In fact I went even further by fusing my starter wire. It always bothered me that GM's factory wiring and grounds are horrible. They cause all kinds of electrical issues.
I went through all circuits and harness to insure it's safe. One of the modifications I make to all my vehicles is fusing all the large wires, clean/secure all factory chassis grounds and run all my accessory grounds directly to battery.
I modified this busbar and factory wiring through RVC to insure a safe and efficient charging system.
Note that I increased the size of my grounds to mach my power wires.
Went from 10 gauge to 1/0 in order to better regulate grounding amps going from alternator through RVC.
Every single power wire coming off both batteries is fused and circuit breaker/fuses for all the smaller wires. Battery disconnect is automatic and I can pull up voltage anytime through bluetooth via solar charge controller.
It's not a Jeep but the same concept for any vehicle when you are wiring up for function and safety.
Can you tell me what solenoid you used for that?Just installed my winch and a solenoid wired to my AUX 1 button. This in a 2021 2.0. JLUR.
I got this one off Amazon. Higher amps then the one Warn sells in its kit and way cheaper.
I found it at Home Depot in the building supply section. It was originally a “T”. I cut one end to make it an L and shortened it up a bit.
Great job!
This is very convenient, in that it includes the shorter battery jumper cables and whatnot.
The solenoid in the Warn power interrupt kit is rated at 500 amps. And for $90, it also comes with all of the necessary peripherals like the short battery jumper cables, the smaller gage kicker wires, and even a power switch and mount for those who don't have factory aux switches.I got this one off Amazon.

where did you come up with that amp rating? Warn doesn’t list one. I highly doubt that one is rated for 500 continuous amps.
