Under my left butt cheek ... well more or less.

Under the seat on the left side (as I'm sitting on atv). I don't have a picture handy.

Mine is on the winch mount plate.

I have mine mounted right beside the seat latch under the seat. I think Littlegrasshopper has a pic. Sorry, for some reason I don't.

DS you have my photobucket account. Borrow any pics you like.

I have mine in the same place as DS. I ended up flipping it over to the back from this pic but it will give you an idea of where we are talking about.

I put mine in the glove box compartment. but I have a bit different setup then most on here. my winch has a box that has four wires that go out from it. two pos and neg. one each to the batt and winch. then there is a plug for the rocker switch.

I made a metal plate with a and bolted it two the rear of the quad. I have a Guru 2" receiver that attaches where the rear A-arms bolt on to the rear. I attached the plate to the hitch mount between the left and right A-arms. There is plenty of clearance with alot of protection for the relays. I only installed one switch there and the other on the rear of the air box. If I had to do it again, I would intall one on front of the metal plate and one on the back of the plate. Easy install, easy access, easy hookup. This makes them readily available for changing if something does go wrong and does not impact other area of the quad.
