I know.....been crazy busy and my mechanic been winterizing boats....Was kinda at his discretion. Yes I did tighten nut to no avail. Got it going for now
Ok so a couple things to check or try...
1) Super simple: make sure the controller is in "float" mode when you try the detach function with the switch.
2) Two valves have to activate and the motor must run for "detach" to occur. Sounds like motor runs so look under plastic cover and find the two valves that activate during the "lower" function. Hold a screwdriver near the nut on the end of each valve and see if the scewdriver sticks to the nut when you hold the "detach" switch. If there is not magnetism come back and let us know. If there is magnetism move to step 3.
3) Remove the "lower" valve and inspect and clean. Reinstall and test. You do not need to remove the "float" valve because the plow drops normally, therefore that valve is functioning correctly.
Ok. So now you want to start at the coils (plastic looking things that the wires go into) on those two valves and look for power. Try to avoid probing the wires if at all possible. Follow those wires back to the switch, Checking for power whenever you do a detach function. I don't remember the exact wiring so I can't give you specifics. When you find out why those coils are not getting power during the detach function then you have found your problem.
Thank you sir. I think after this season I am going to replace. The undercarriage is pretty rough on plow. My question Snoex(which bought out Blizzard) or should I look to different plow. I love this blizzard but its old. Should I consider just totally rebuilding the plow I have

With the age of plow you currently have I probably would not recommend rebuilding it.
The SnowEx PowerPlow is the only expanding plow in the market with a true Blizzard moldboard. It would still be my number one choice for commercial lot plowing with a pickup truck.
I don't do parking lots that often. I have a county contract for roads and salting. That being said. I really like the features of the Blizzard PP but not the price tag of a new one ( 7300 installed. Maryland pricing ). With me usually pushing roads I am leaning back towards Western straight blade unless I can find a deal on another Blizzard (1500- I paid 3 years ago ). Any advice will be well taken.
