Purchased the Badlands 2500 lb winch for my ATV. Followed the instructions to a T but it erupted into an electrical fire when I made the final connection to the battery. The control box started humming them foof, smoke and flames erupted. Didn't have the switch even plugged in. Only by quickly disconnecting from the battery was I able to get it under control and not destroy my Honda Rancher. Obviously something shorted in the black box or was defective. Needless to say, I am not trying that again. Since some of the product was destroyed, I doubt HF will even give me my money back.
