Truck broke down with just 7 driveways to plow!

What happens here

The presenter explains receiving a call about a broken snow plow truck named 'Alex.' He states the 'short iron' (snow plow) is not responding and is 'totally dead.' The truck had been used to plow 46 driveways. He mentions that initial thoughts point to issues with the solenoid, battery, or fuses. The goal is to identify the root cause of the snow plow's failure to operate.

Goal: The video begins with the presenter, Tim, discussing a broken-down snow plow truck. He identifies the problem as the snow plow being unresponsive, hinting at an electrical or hydraulic failure.
