    Winch wiring.

    Ready to re fit my winch and while looking at the wiring diagram i see a ground wire from winch motor to solenoid pack, my winch was just using the bolts to winch cradle/chassis as the ground.
    Should i be fitting a ground wire or even neg back to battery ?

    If it's the thin wire, I'd say follow the wiring diagram. I would probably run it back to the solenoid pack, but not the battery. You could probably get away with going from the motor to a chassis ground, if you really needed to.

    No extra grnd wire for first 5 years it was in and never had a problem, only noticed the grnd wire in the diagram and wondered if it was necessary.

    You're talking about the motor ground, right?

    Oh, by commercial use I mean giving it away and pretending it is yours. I don't mind if you use it in your workshop.
