now this is my 2nd warn 8274 and i think im pretty uptogether on wiring them up

but this one has no earth point on the motor
generally the earth point is on the underside of the motor but this motor has no earth point atall
just the 3 live fittings ontop of the motor

any ideas?

seem to remember you paid £350 inc bumper, thats a lot of mark up for a broken winch

taint broken tho

it can be earthed by the end plate fixings

irrelevant what i paid for it tho.. just bought a 150ft 12 strand dyneema rope to go on it aswell..

bumpers being modded nxt week to fit the 8274 and a gigglepin main shaft is also being fitted:crazy_driver:

this one

but where on the winch

i always earth direct to chassis
most motors have an earth point underneath the 8274 motor doesnt

done some tinterweb searching and the winch is earthed thru its mountings

but most people say to earth on the winch motor fixing bolts direct to the battery

yeh thats's the way i do it, then your guaranteed to get a good earth from the neg on the battery's earth instead of trying to go off the bumper for a good earth
