I have never seen that split collar before on a Garwood winch. Looks to be a freewheel lockout function like you say. I think that is a 20,000 lb winch, are there any numbers on a data plate or stamped on a boss?
Crazy stuff happening with turn signals can be the lever being defective or bad grounds at the lamp units. Headlights that worked but now don’t could be burned out bulbs or grounds again.
Looks like all that needs to be done is to plug in the excite wire. There is no HMMWV specific alternator, the 60 amp units are all military standard. If your alternator does not function, double check that excite voltage is present at the wire when the ignition is on. It’s always possible...
The alternator does need an excite wire, but you need to tie it in with the ignitor feed, not the starter. If your alternator has a 12, gauge pigtail coming out of it, that is the excite wire which must be switched on when the ignition is on.
Does the Parker valve spool have plungers that you can manually push in on the ends? If so try pushing those to see if you get movement in the ram. I think I see the safety brace up? Don't want ya getting squashed.

6. read the technical manuals, there is a lot to it.
Odo is likely...
Sounds like your only option is to trace out the positive battery cables and check for pinching or bare spots. It's possible the problem occured when you were driving and that issue is what caused the battery connection to melt. Also look for issues around the starter motor, such as it having...
Sorry about your loss.
Did you insulate the positive terminal very well that leads to the (not present) frame mount battery? It cannot just dangle.
I think you are figuring out that the battery connections need to be perfect at all times.
