Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
The wires ended right at the grommet where the 24v radio cables pass through the floor pan as if somebody just snipped them off. It did cross my mind that the license plate recess on my bumper could be a great place for a 24v winch, but then winches are shockingly expensive, so probably not.
AI doesn't know what it's talking about most of the time, so as a rule, I tend not to listen to it, but it did just tell me that the M1009 trailer connection has no reverse light provision, and given four wires, that covers ground, run, turn, and brake. It's probably true. Bummer.
Was concerned with electrical load, but the harness was designed for a nominal 26 watt incandescent bulb, which is roughly equivalent to the draw of the LED 1156 and the LED floodlight combined. The size, weight, and lumens of the floodlamp were giving me worries of letting the magic smoke out for no reason. Thank you, sir.
Glad the reverse lights work now! It's odd the diagram you posted shows 4 wires when there's 6 with both plugs on the truck. Throw it in reverse and see if one of the wires gets hot...I'd back probe that since I think the harness grounds itself with one of those wires. If not I'd run another wire from the switch out...maybe relay it...but that depends on how much light amp load your putting on it.
