Smart Hitch Switch?

Hi all-

So I bought a diesel truck that has a 9' boss plow with it. It has worked great since my purchase in September until now. It has been sitting in my driveway waiting for some snow. I went out the other day and tried to hook it up and move it, and the switch on the plow to raise it up to lock in did nothing.
I thought maybe the solenoid was bad so I replaced it. That didnt fix it.
I recently took it in to the dealer for some service and they load tested the batteries. (this is all I can think of causing the problem so far) Could that have fried the solenoid that was in it? I honestly dont know if they took the batteries out or unhooked them to do the test.
It will run the motor left/right and sound like the motor is running up but I cannot hook it up (attach it to the truck) to test it for sure. Could this be just the switch went bad out of the blue? I had used the plow not too long ago, maybe a couple weeks?

Thanks
Geoff
