Can't figure out why the battery is draining

[alc5m]

idk if you can or not, i only go from computer, but is it like the physical switch is messed up or is it something electrical?

So your saying if the winch isnt in use it couldnt be draining?

Physical. Idk what the part looked like that broke off. ive never used the winch, it was broke when i bought it. The dude i bought it from said "it had only been used once" he must have not known what he was doing.

unless your winch or its wiring has a high resistance short. it should not be draining your battery if not being used.

then what could it be? the lights are rigged up pretty bad, but i didnt ever use them. and i have an amp, but it turns off when the radio does.

Hook up an amp meter or multi meter and unhook all that junk, reconnect everything one by one and you'll eventually find what's pulling ...

thats what i was planning on doing. by the way the lights are hooked up i doubt the winch is connected the correct way. I'll figure it out. Thanks for yalls help!
