[QUOTE="BUG-E J, post: 700616, member: 1921"] Your gonna have to check voltage drops to find it but im gonna say its not getting the proper voltage/amperage from the battery so the alternator is kicking it on. Turn the volt meter to dc and go in line from the hot on winch to hot battery POST not terminal. It should read 0 volts. Do the same on the ground circuit. That will narrow down if its ground or hot. Then you can work back towards the winch checking at each point till you find the bad connection. Having battery voltage at a load doesnt mean you dont have a bad connection not allowing the correct amperage. [/QUOTE]
