Ok so on my trailer, I have a 2000 pd electric winch. I have it wired correctly, using a dbl throw dbl pull 20 AMP toggle switch and a 12 volt battery.
I am also using 10 Gauge wire.
When I load a car on, it gets so hot it always melts the contacts on the switch, and I end up replacing the switch.
Is there a switch that I can use that wont melt? In other words a heavier duty one?
Do I need bigger wires?
I am stumped.
TIA
