clicking and connection heating up

[coolgreen]

The other night my SnoWay ST starting clicking, and the main connection heated up to the point where it burnt my hand when I grabbed the connection.

When I got home, I cleaned my battery terminals and checked all the connnections. I grease the connections on a regular basis.

It seemed to do the trick. The connection isn't heating up anymore.

Has anyone else had this happen? It scared the @#$% out of me. A major storm was on its way, and we're supposed to get more snow today and tommorrow.

Is the clicking a solenoid? If so, what does it look like? I want to get a few spares to keep in the truck.

Connection started heating up again while using the plow.

I took my truck in to a local shop, and the guy there told me to spread the male part of the connector. Turns out it wasn't making a good connection.

I tried it, and it worked like a charm. He said I'd been using too much grease in the fitting, which was squeezing the gizmo when it heated up. I think I'll use a lot less from now on.
