western plow problem

[topgunlandscaping]

i just went out to the truck and I cant get the plow to work. The handheld controler has no power, the 2 pin harness has no power, but the 9 pin harness has power and the headlights are working. I changed out the seloinoid and nothing. any ideas??

top gun, Not to be a smart A$$ but if you have no power to the hand held you either have a blown fuse in the controller or in the power line to the controller.

Under the dash you will probably find a black fuse holder for the antiquated tube fuse holder that western provides. Unless your dealer eliminates it and puts another holder in.

Pull the fuse and check it/ swap it out. Don't tell me it "looks" ok cause unless you test it it's only speculation. If that fuse is good folllow the wire to power source ( another fuse in the panel or splice under the dash ) and check that source.

Test light is helpful here. You can bypass all the fun first and check the red wire at the white connector for power. No power bad wire/fuse. Power and the fuse in the controller itself is blown.

TOP GUN..............There is a FSE-5 glass tube fuse INSIDE
your Cab Command controller ALSO !
Mine does NOT have one in line......
I always wondered why my owners manual had a extra with it!
