Truck broke down with just 7 driveways to plow!

What happens here

Access the snow plow's power unit, typically located in a compartment at the rear of the truck. Inspect the battery connections, solenoid, and fuses. The team finds a blown fuse and removes it. A new 200A AMG style fuse is then installed. The battery's age (four years) is also noted as a potential contributing factor to the electrical issue.

Goal: The team inspects the snow plow's power unit, focusing on electrical connections and fuses. They discover a blown fuse, which is then replaced.

Tools and materials

  • Pliers
