Status light help

[marshall351]

I have the md68 and the status light keeps coming on(sometimes flashing) but the plow seems to be working fine do i just ignore it or do i need to get it looked at just bought plow in november

Is it blinking constantly or in sequences (ie) 2 blinks 3 blink 4 blinks? Sounds like you have a fault in the wiring on the your relay. (the coil on the firewall)
I would check all your connections then go from there my friend.

Good luck.
Hope this helps.

Check the plow connections. Any little bit of water or ice inside can cause the problem you describe. They may not be fully seated either,as they can be difficult to engage fully when cold.

There is a fix for it. Call your dealer and tell him about the issue you are having. on the older plows (early model this year) they need to send him an adapter that plugs in between the vehicle harness controller plug and the controller itself. It takes less than 2 minutes to install and Buyers will send it to him for free. I have had to install 2 of them in the plows we sold. I still have 2 left just in case the other 2 stock units have this problem.
