Winch Install on. 3.6 E-Torque?

[BruceyZ06]

I feel dumb for asking this. Recent acquired another Jeep. 2022 Rubicon Extreme Recon 4 Door w/ the 3.6 V6 with E-Assist. I'm installing my winch on it soon. I can kist install the battery cables to thew 12 volt battery correct? Or am I wrong? Thanks!

That’s right. Winch cables to the 12v battery.

Yep. 3.6L eTorque here. Hard wired my winch to my 12V battery. Simple.

That's what I thought. Thanks guys!

I have an on/off switch on my winch, so I wired to aux switch to reduce any shenanigans…….. the aux switch doesn’t turn it on it just turns on the power to the winch……

My winch came with a on/off switch, this was new to me. I made a bracket and mounted the switch. I figured why not.

I installed a warn relay on a bracket I made as well and a fuse relay box for my lights, I have the winch turned on by Aux switch 4, I don't like to lift my hood unless really necessary.

I‘m the opposite. I open my hood often to check fluid levels, any leaks, or loose connections, and will wipe down dust and use air to flush out debri that has found its way into cracks and corners. I just like to inspect and check things out regularly.

Hey guys, I also have the 3.6 with e-torque. I thought I read somewhere that when wiring to the battery that we should run positive to positive on battery, but in the case of negative run to one of the grounding lugs on the fender by battery? I believe it has something to do with that little connector at the negative battery terminal could be damaged by the draw of a winch or compressor. Can anyone confirm this is true or an incorrect assumption? Thanks
