Working on my buddies renegade 800x and previous owner wires the winch to work with the key off, so it's been draining his battery.
I see the small red wire coming from the solenoid and he has it wired to the positive cable on the solenoid. What wire can I tap into so it only works with the key on? I thought about the ignition wire but also read that it's not good to tap into ignition due to computer. Seams like 12v cigarette lighter has constant power also with key off so can't tap there . Any help is appreciated. Can am is new to me, I'm used to working on Yamaha and polaris
