i have a 1996 f-250 with a minute mount 1 plow the only way the plow will work is when i take a screwdriver and when i cross the 2post the plow works i have put a new plow soleniod and it melted it i am not shore if the wires where hooked up right. the joystick will only work when the srewdriver is used on the solenoid. anyone else ever have this problem and could help.

 

I am no plow expert at all but we have them on our trucks and i would say first ur solenoid probably went out again which means ur drawing too much power so i would check for shorts to the frame, maybe the wires are rubbing on the plow frame, or make sure u are running ATF fluid in ur plow so the oil doesn't get too think and draw too much power. it seems though there would be a fuse that should pop before it takes out the solenoid. those might be some areas to look at. i hope it helps and if it does let me know what it was since i also have a minute mount plow and if it wasn't that let me know too and i will keep trying to find out what i can for you.
