Plow directionals work but no park light . Lights have 2 double element bulbs which both work on directional but no park light , is this normal ?MM2 on a '02 GMC .

I had the same problem on my MM1 but never figure it out before I sold it. Have you checked all the pins in the wiring harness connector? Make sure that none of them are rusty, bent, missing, or broken. Then make sure that the connections have a good coat of grease. Maybe replace the four bulbs. Might run you $7 at AutoZone. Start with the simple things first.

HAHAHAHA, Same exact problem. Just noticed it. Took of the cover and saw that both of the bulbs work with directionals but no parking lights....Mine is a 2005 X Blade. Dam fisher. I am sure its a wiring issue. I was going to buy some Intensifires yesterday to rid of the problem, but I understand Fisher is having a lot of trouble with those lights. 2 Parking lights wont make or break me for now.....Your not alone out there

Are you sure that the marker light feed for the plow lights is even hooked up on the truck side or that you dont have a broken wire for the marker ligth feed on the truck side.

Pull the drivers side marker/turn lamp assy out on the truck and check to see that the purple wire is connected to the truck marker wire (should be a blue wire).

its the two wires from the harness that need to be spliced properly to your parking lights. i had that issue too, but i cant remember which one goes where. i ended up stripping all 3 wires back and splicing them via process of elimination because the manuals online are useless. i have an 02 chevy, and if i get the chance ill take a look, but if i remember right i weatherproofed the crap out of them and wont be able to see what goes where.

the dual element bulbs serve their purpose. one element is for the parking lights, the dim element. and the blinkers are the bright element. one would think that one bulb would be the blinker and the other the parking light, but if wired wrong once again the parking light may end up being brighter than the blinker making it useless.

and make sure when you make your connections that you dont reverse them and get the previously mentioned problem - bright parking lights and dim blinkers. good luck it shouldnt take anymore than a half hour to test, connect and clean up.

$8 test light eliminates guess work and tells you exactly were things are

Hehe , made that investment many years ago . Have been running MM1 for years and always had both . The MM2 is new for me so wasn't sure what to expect . I know I can make it work with park light , wasn't sure if it was supose to or not . I'll check the wiring and see whats up.

I'll check that out , thanks for the tip

Make sure you have the pump plugged in when testing. It gets the ground from the ground wire on the pump. I was testing and scratching my head on that one.

 

[ticki2]

Well guys , mistery solved . Checked the wiring at the park light splice and it was spliced to the gound instead of the park wire . Switched wires and everything works as it should.

 

[DeereFarmer]

It's always something simple.

Mine had nothing to do with the wiring. Both bulbs were bad....EVEN THOUGH they both fully functioned with the hadards/blinkers.....

Who installed this plow and how long ago?

Who installed this plow and how long ago?

Not sure , bought it last spring used. What difference would it make , someone mixed up the black and brown wire , I've done worse myself at times.

BTW used to spend some time over your way as a kid , have some cousins in Palenville.
