Hi All
I am based in West Sussex and looking for someone with 4x4 installation experience to do the wiring on a small self recovery winch Ninja 4500lb capacity. My electrical expertise is not at all adequate to do a safe and practical job, so any suggestions will be welcomed.

Thanks for looking , and of course i am not after a Freebie

Peter

If it's a new winch. It should come with all necessary wiring and instructions.

It’s new, with wiring and Anderson connectors, BUT I believe it is prudent to replace the original battery, fit isolation solenoid switches to isolate the winch wiring when not in use andandand. No use me looking at wiring diagrams , they mean nothing to me, So it’s competent input that i’m after, not the local garage mech with a pair of pliers and a roll of tape.

If it's no use to you looking at a diagram, then I'd suggest to let someone else do it.
You don't need bigger battery for a winch of that size, but still draws a good handful of amps pulling a load, so it's possible to damage something if not done correctly. An isolator switch is always a good thing.

Could you at least post a link to the winch you have or a photo of the diagram?
