Warn Zeon 10S Wiring

[SuspectLJ]

Hey everyone, i just got my jeep back from the shop were i had two eaton elockers installed which are hooked up to the battery as shown in the picture below.

I'm in installing my Warn Zeon 10s in a couple days and was wondering if there is any issues with installing the positive wire from the winch on top of the wire for my elockers.

the only time I've previously installed a winch was on a JK which has an additional post so i never had to consider this.

I'm aware this is probably a dumb question but i figured I'd ask before i accidentally set my jeep on fire.

side note but if anyone knows the best way to clean up that bolt for the battery clamp or where to get a new one let me know!

thanks in advance!

If it were me, I would take that locker + wire and put in on the + side of the fuse block right in front of the battery. The terminal ring won't get as damaged in that location. I would then put the winch + line where the locker wire currently sits. The winch line has to be connected to the battery directly due to the amount of amps it pulls. It is safer that way.

Get yourself some MilSpec battery terminals and crimp rings in to the rest of your cables.

Electrically, they can be on the same post without issue. I think everyone is talking about how that eyelet on that locker wire is already looking a lil mangled, and it's likely to get worse if you mess with it and stack stuff on top of it. These terminals aren't great for putting more wires onto.

Do it right the first time. Good way to connect the winch to the battery.

Go to fuse box for other stuff. Or add one. (Best to not have lots of wires coming to the battery.)

i think I'm gonna pick it up an odyssey battery like what @hosejockey61 runs in this video since mine is going to die soon anyways.

that way i'll run the winch on the main terminal and put the locker alone on the secondary terminal.

Fysa I too have an Odyssey battery. I haven't had issues personally per se but the TJ doesn't put out the right charge voltage for AGM batteries. You can reprogram the PCM but that's expensive. I've got the yellow top and it's not getting fully charged.
