Hey guys I have a 2000 f150 with a 6 foot western unimount plow on it worked perfect last year no issues and no I hooked it all up because I’m moving and the plow will not turn left or right and will not go down. Although it will go up just fine. I need help I checked the wiring solinoid where else do I turn??

Clean the 9 pin plug ends with electrical cleaner. Try that first.

I had tried that I forgot to say I cleaned all connections as well

That's a very frantic sounding post for mid june.

Use a test light and confirm you have power at all three coils on the valves

I do not of power to the top right coil but power to the rest. Wiring issues ? Or is the coil bad

Around here, some companies are starting to get ready for snow, one of the reasons sima does their show in june

Top right is S2 and would affect left and right

Okay so what should I do get them to work? Take apart and clean?

No, if there is no power there, then either the plow side harness, truck side harness, or controller is bad

 

[cwren2472]

Test the truck side plug for power to the 3 coils

Staying clear of the plow, run a jumper wire from battery positive to the lower valve magnet.

 

[cwren2472]

If it still fails to lower, then either coil is ba . Valve is bad, or - mostly likely - packing nut on the lift ram is too tight. That is a common issue as people tighten it to stop leaks

Packing nut on lift ram? Where is that located

Did you try running power to the lowering valve?

I put a jump wire to that and nothing happened I don't have a test light to see if I have power from the controls

Then go buy one - if you want to diagnose a plow yourself, its essential

 

[Tkruse29]

So I got a bigger jumper wire and it went down running the jumper wire. I also got it go left and right off the control now it just won’t go down.
