What happens here

If a snowplow is not operating correctly (e.g., not lifting or dropping), check the hydraulic fluid reservoir. Use a light source (like a Milwaukee portable light) to check the fluid level. If low, refill the reservoir with appropriate hydraulic fluid. Also, check all electrical connections for the plow to ensure they are secure, as loose connections can mimic fluid issues. Once refilled and connections checked, test the plow's functionality.

Goal: Restore snowplow functionality by addressing hydraulic and electrical issues.
