On my winch I have a cable for an earth as well as positive and negative so how would I hook it up? Thanks

That's correct.....don't use the negative terminal on the battery.
The negative terminal has some sensor on it, which can effect all sorts of things.
There are two earths in front of the battery box to earth lights, etc.
I don't know what earth others use for a winch....I am sure someone will guide you on this.
