Anyone use this to connect their winch, light bar, or fuse block? Rather than splicing into the factory harness to add accessories to the 12V plug, this gives you two hot wires to run relays or power accessories by simply plugging it in between the main harness and the acc. plug. I have my winch partially installed and I'm not real excited about cutting into the factory wires. (I hate chasing down electrical issues!) I haven't used one but I just ordered two so I can use one to wire the winch and fuse block on my Wolverine and the other to straighten out the rat's nest of wiring on my Grizzly.

Just follow the wires coming out of the back of the 12V accessory plug (AKA cigarette lighter). You will find that the wires to the 12V port are a short little "harness" type of thing that connects to the main wire harness with exactly the same white plugs as you have on this . Unplug that connection and then insert the new connectors of the additional wire and plug it all back together. You now have two hot wires without cutting into your factory wiring. I can take pictures of mine the next time I have the front fenders up for some more wiring.

Did you get the Yamaha version of the Warn winch? It seems that I have heard those winches come with that wire accessory.
