Start by plugging everything in and pop the cover off the control part on the plow and check for magnetism on all 3 solenoids when you hit the various buttons on your plow controller. The pull should be very strong and noticable...a weak magnetic pull is likely just residual magnetism on your screwdriver. In my case, the S3 solenoid wasn't firing and that causes exactly what you're describing.
If your S3 isn't firing you can test the wiring by moving the S3 hot wire to the S2 solenoid. If your wiring is good the plow will misbehave in an entirely different way. Also get out your ohm meter and test the S3, if its good you should get 7 ohms on it.
You need to use the guide from Fisher and be methodical about it. Start at the plow and work your way backwrds towards the truck.
Most of those systems don't have a driven retraction on the piston. It is gravity feed back. There is a valve that is sticking or out of adjustment. http://library.fisherplows.com/?cat=38
If you have a Minit Mount two it's probably the valve sticking. It's electronically controlled so if it clicks, then the solenoid is working and the shuttle in the valve is stuck. Can be disassembled and cleaned. New ones are best but pricey.
My western snow plow will not go up or left or right with joystick. I can use a screw driver and make contact on the silanoid and then move the cables with the joy stick and then it will work. I have relaced selinoid and contacts. any ideas? Stomped
un bolt the motor from the base, the pickup is just tin, they rot off and fall into the base. you may have valves stuck too, but if nothings moving and pumps running, it should labor BADLY
