I finally got around to installing my winch (Engo E9000s) but I'm having some issues getting things to work right. Hoping someone may have some advice before I contact Engo.
I hooked up everything per the instructions provided. With the Jeep running at idle if I press in on the controller it kills my Jeep. Revving it to 3k barely keeps it running and the winch barely spools rope in. Initially I thought maybe my battery couldn't support the load, but after it dies it fires right back up like nothing happened. The other oddity is that the positive cable running from the winch to the battery gets really hot. Like hot enough to melt the insulation. I'm out of ideas and a bit frustrated. Anyone think of anything obvious I'm overlooking? Alternator is a brand new 130A unit also.

Sounds like something is shorted.
Me and a friend of mine installed one on his xj, and it was pretty straight forward. Match the color wire to the color post, hook up battery cables, and your done. I would just get a hold of engo, or whoever your bought it from, so you can get another one coming.
That's odd I've had no issues out of mine so far
Ah well I hope nothing was damaged with the mix up.
Joel @ Engo said it should be ok. I'm going to switch it tonight and see what happens. I reread the directions and it does clearly state that the battery cable runs to that post, I must've skimmed over them (I did read them )
Good to hear I love mine man I've already used it a few times and it's been great.
You put tab A into slot B. Hate it when that happens
