The A terminal connects to the brushes then through the armiture windings and back out the brushes to earth, so the resistance reading would be low. If it is a dead short to earth I would check the insulators around the stud, or sometimes if the stud has been loose and turned the lead inside from ...

It is possible the injectors are the cause of your problems,As i said before im not familiar with haltech systems ,if the four injectors are pulsed at the same time (as in most multipoint setups)an overload of the components that fire the injectors could hold all four open and the same if they are ...

yes running 24volts through 12volt series wound winch motor with no load on it will self destruct. I would fit an extra double pole solenoid to change the supply to the existing winch solenoids and have an extra switch to operate it only when needed as I think continuosly running 24volts could ...
