Im not to bad with plows.....I had a meyers E-47 that was on my 95 F-250....The older it got, the more problems I had....Do you have an E-47 or an E-60?...Where are you located?

You said no clicking when you angle/up/down? I had that happen once.....Mine ended up being the ground wire....I had to take a wire brush to the connection and where it mounts to the plow pump......I'll pm you my cell number....give me a call

You can use the same one from a car/ truck. they all work the same. they are cheaper at a parts store then going to a meyer dealer to get them.

He cleaned the connections and got things to start "clicking". I had him check the motor and it spins......I think one of the relays went bad or poor connection. I'm going over to his place tuesday after work to check a few things

Make sure those Valves are opening. Most of the time they stick shut. take the tops off and unscrew the valves and spray them down with some PB blaster. It also could be because the fluid got to cold. Don't buy the Hydrolic fluid from a parts store or anywere spend the money and get the meyer fluid. it never freezes.

put a new relay on... no difference... ordered both those solenoids in the links.. hope to get them friday for the snow sat.... hope those get it working

**PHFIRENO7783** · 03-06-2008, 11:29 AM

Let me know once you get the solenoids....Im gonna do some more research....

**PHFIRENO7783** · 03-08-2008, 05:21 PM

So I went on one of my old snow plow sites( http://www.plowsite.com )and asked a few question about your problem....And this is when I got back:

Check the small wire on the solenoid (should be white) for 12V power with one of the control functions pressed (up, left or right). I think you'll find it isn't supplying 12V on that small wire from the controls. Most likely due to the controls not having power themselves.

Check the control harness under the dash, should have a single black wire coming out of it heading to a 12V keyed power source (usually to the fuse panel). See if you have power in that wire. May have slipped out of the fuse panel or the in line fuse my be blown or corroded.

Anoter thing too is it a joy stick or a kep pad? I had a brand new key pad go bad on me. on my old truck i had a joy stick and you can make a set of switches for up down left right. but you can get those cheap.
