CFM Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Not a guru but have repaired few electrical issues on people’s plows. What helps is getting wiring instructions /manuals. Fisher has great tech side of their website with tons of manuals and diagrams https://library.fisherplows.com/publications.asp Her’s a head start for finding your minute mount 2 manual/diagrams: https://library.fisherplows.com/publications.asp?cat=328 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side note to anyone :lolI have two and also two snap on non wired ‘lights.’ Love’m. It buzzes w when power is touched. For the ground , use your other hand and touch a ground with that hand. Great for horrible spots. Lol. Edited November 26, 2021 by CFM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XCR1250 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) I have several types of testers that simply turn in like the actual bulbs, for both single and twin filament bulbs, sometimes I'll use 1 of my VOMs. Edited November 26, 2021 by XCR1250 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s usually the pin connectors. I used dielectric grease and it’s worked pretty good. I plow city streets that get salted and that does not help.

SkisNH Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Spend the 60.00 and buy a pin cleaning set. I do mine every year before the season. Then dielectric grease. Or CRC and a brush will get you going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a BOSS Sport Duty ( plastic ) Plow. It has been a real good plow. However it has to be lined-up just right, or it won't latch on. A buddy of mine had a big Fisher plow, and he went crazy all afternoon trying to get it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostynuts Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 What is the CRC you guys are talking about, and where do you buy it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkisNH Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 It's a brand of contact cleaner...any autoparts store will have it. If you are self loathing you can get from Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFM Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) Good news OP. :thumbs =========== Furthering subject.,,, If it (crc) doesn’t work, the battery terminal cleaning spray seems to work. Let it sit for awhile. 1/2hr? Hr ? Then clean out with whatever else spray cleaner that evaps fast. I have small flat and round carburetor snd welding files that works pretty good on electrical plugs too.
