Thank you very much NMKawierider I now have to change the receiver for sure as its is getting power all the time and even with the machine connected to a smart charger (a Noco Genius 1) my atv will not fire-up after 2 months of no use with a one year old battery that cannot crank it any more.
One quick question, what is the accessory plug you got power from?  Did you splice the positive wires to tap into the 12 volt cigarette lighter port?
Is your factory winch wired straight to the battery positive and negative with no inline fuse anywhere?  Mine came that way 

Yes, I used the 12 volt cigarette lighter port wiring which is the accessory port and used quick-connects for both the positive and negative needs. And yes all winches and their motor power cables connected directly to the battery but the controller is powered from fused system power. Always though the positive cable should bade a 30+ fuse inline but they don't put one.

Excellent, thank you once again NMKawierider you are great.  I will change my receiver box to that auxiliary port.  Do you think that little bitty receiver box is enough to drain the battery overnight and not let it crank the engine?

[NMKawierider]

Wouldn't think so but if it pulls at or over 500 mA it might. That and the normal 350 takes it close to an amp so...maybe.

Thanks... my machine is in the shop now but is a holiday so I won't heard anything until next week.  I will report back with any findings.
