I am writing because i am having an electrical problem that just keeps getting worse.
For starters the bike is stock outside of a Warn winch and Power Pivot, Hand Warmers and a HMF Exhaust.
So to begin the first issue was that the EPS stopped working. Because i wasn’t riding much i let it go. Then i have issues keeping a charge. I would jump the bike with my truck to get it running and it would always be dead a few days later when i would try and start it up. (Battery was replaced twice) At this point i cant even get power to the bike… I am constantly blowing the UNswitch fuse.
The last time i got the bike to run… as soon as i hit the winch in button it shut the bike off and it hasn’t started since. This is what probably blew the unswitch fuse the first time.
My thoughts were to remove the winch altogether and start from the beginning…. Would this make sense? At that point i would check, clean and replace any bad wires.
Also, do warn winches have fuses? I am starting to think the winch is messed up and causing a short or an overload.
Lastly… how hard is it to re-power the bike when you remove the winch? I am a little confused at how to revert the power wires as i see they run through a warn contactor box bolted to the radiator frame.
Any advice is appreciated.
