<strong>One problem with putting the solenoid pack under the hood is if it shorts out under a heavy pull (which they have been known to do). The cure is to put a master switch out where you can get to it fast. Make sure it is a heavy-duty switch for batteries or have the hood open when winching. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">The cure for a short is what?? Put a switch on what wire? And how does this cure a short? How will having the hood open help anything? I'm really confused by these statements, can someone please clairfy??
