Here is what you need.

These came with my Warn multi-mount winch. I have one set on the
front and one set on the rear of my F-350 and the same on my son's Dodge
pickup, thus greatly increasing the utility of my winch. I'm in the
process of adding them to the front and rear of my Rubicon. I also
purchased jumper cables from Warn that use these connectors. Very useful.

Hi Matt,
I can see how that may happen, just that I can't see the diodes
surviving all that heat/energy.
