On Saturday, I pulled the pump cover off of my plow to check all the electrical connections (since SnoWay's are popular for bad connections) in anticipation of snow this week. I noticed a few wires going to one ground point that were a little loose. So, I went and grabbed my sockets and went to tighten it, only to find that the hole was already stripped out. These wires were grounded straight to the pump-motor case. Since I was unable to find a slightly larger bolt to put in there, I took it off and made a new ground on the plow fram itself. I cleaned all the paint off the area, ran the new bolt in, and the coated it with dielectric grease. Good solid ground now.
But... I've noticed that sometimes when I hit the switch to move the plow up, after I let go of the switch, the plow will keep moving up for about a second or two AFTER I let go of the button.
Think this is something to do with the new ground? Or does it sound like the valeves/solenoid are sticking?
