recommended winch relay location

[bleavitt]

Hi new to the forum, I just picked up a 2003 max ll it came with a winch plate but the owner never installed a winch, I just purchased one is there a recommended location for the relay up front or back under the seat thank you.

The best place to put it is where you can get to it easily!!! If you hide it you will have problems with it. If you put it in the open, it will be trouble free.

Mine is mounted on the side wall to the right of the fuel tank with Velcro. I have a Warn and the cables are too short to put it in the rear.
