battery is newer, I have a good AGM battery I could test with if needed. we had replaced the clamps, hot previously, ground after this happened. Ran a new ground from clamp to alt, at the same time. I was incorrect before, it was the HOT lead that went toast for the winch. Both the hot and ground lead for the winch had been disconnected a few months back. Security light works as expected as well. I still need to test the starter ( I have my doubts) and fuel pump (same, shouldn't cause no crank anyway). The part that weirds me out compared to some other no start JK stories, is it died while driving, not JUST refusing to crank.
