Where Would Ignition Wire of Superwinch LT3000 Run on a Non-ATV Installation

Question:
Hi, im using the superwinch lt3000 on a trailer instead of mounting it on an ATV. Since I dont have an ignition switch, how do I hook up the red wire that runs to it? I have tried connecting them to each other , but the winch does not work. Does it need to be energized from the battery so the relay has power?

Expert Reply:
The red wire that runs to the ignition switch on the Superwinch LT3000 part # SW1130220 would normally get run to power source that only sees voltage when the key of the ATV is on. In your application you would need to just run a 12 volt power circuit.
I attached a diagram for the wiring of the winch for you to check out as well.
