Hi,
Just looking to see if anyone is able to offer a suggestion for fixing an issue on my 2012 110 pickup. I have recently fitted a winch (warn XD9000i) and had it wired into the (single) battery with an isolator switch added.
The problem is that when the winch is started, the alarm for the vehicle goes off (whether the engine is running or turned off). Connecting up a voltage meter shows that the alarm is triggered when there is a 2 volt drop. Battery shows 12.4 volts (14.5 when alternator running) so no issue with a dud battery.
Just wondering how best to get round this problem? Do I need to fit a second battery or can I somehow override the alarm to avoid it activating on a voltage drop?
Hope someone is able to offer some thoughts!
Thanks.
