So now I’ve got a problem…
I became aware today (after plugging in the winch remote before flipping the 500amp switch) that the quick connect cable connected to the Albright switch, is live. Like all the time live, even without key in the vehicle.
So now the questions…
This is unsafe, right? It’s covered with a rubber cap, but that doesn’t seem adequate for wire with this much power to be the permanent/only safety measure.
Would it drain the battery if quick connects are not connected to anything? I haven’t noticed any issues in 2 months, but I do have dual batteries and drive it daily.
Is the 500amp switch only connected to the rear NATO plug if you didn’t order a factory front winch?
Could the Albright switch be “broken” in an always on scenario?
