Default Power issues

I attempted to reel in my winch and when I did, I heard a pop as if a fuse was blown. I have lost power to the subwoofer I have and all my LED light bars but still have perfect engine power and normal start up. I checked every fuse in the PDC and none are broken and I have no idea what else to look for or what to do. Also lost winch power. Any ideas?

Do you have a DVOM (Digital Volt Ohm Meter) or a simple 12 volt test light?
Start from the subwoofer power wire at the subwoofer. Do you have power there? Trace the wire back to its power source & figure out why the power stops.

Same for the winch. Start at the winch and trace the wire back, looking for voltage.

How / what method did you use to check the PDC fuses?

Honestly I just pulled each fuse by hand and hadn't found any of them broken. I do have one, it's just in storage somewhere, I gotta dig it out and give that a shot.

Default Problem resolved

Turned out my battery terminal connectors were bad, after going to Walmart and getting a pair for $6, the stuff works perfectly again
