Meyer plow troubleshooting

I purchased this Plow on Nov.5, 2009. Since then the plow harniss is responsible for blowing out the passanger side headlight on my F150 Ford Platinum. This happens every winter season. When the Ford mechanic uncouples the plow harness for the summer months, the light is fine but when the harness is hooked up for the winter the light blows. I took the plow to the dealer when it was still under warranty, but he says they couldn't find anything wrong and it is not Myers fault. If so, how come it only blows the headlight when the harness is hooked up? Meanwhile I keep getting dinged $75.00 to get the head light working again every summer? I am just getting the run around. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The Ford dealer, being aware of this problem won't take my truck and plow as a trade on another vehicle. They will take the truck without the plow. Where does this leave me??

Number one the plow headlights should be seperate from the vehicle. Get a new harness for the plow on ebay for cheap and have it installed. In the long run it will be cheaper.

The reason the fuse blows/melts is because there is excessive draw. The other alternator could be wired wrong. Check to make sure the wires are correct gauge.

There is a ground that is deteriorated in the harness. trace the ground lead back from the connection to your truck. Once you find the break, that should take care of your problem.

It is also possible to be a power lead, so check them also, but more often than not it is a ground.l

Hope this helps.

If you already haven't check the fluid level with the plow on the ground.

Mine is usually low when it chatters in up mode.
Both Western, meyers and hinicker do this.

Over heat after new thermostat

hey Tim, I have a 90 F-250 w/ plow. Did u have overheating issues before, or did u just purchase the truck? As u know u really need a heavy duty cooling system to plow. A truck purchased for plowing should have the 'plow package' option, which includes heavy duty cooling (engine, which is usually a bigger radiator) heavy duty battery and alternator, trans. cooler, heavy duty front end (for extra plow weight). So, my question is, is this a new problem, or not? My truck is set up for the plow, but I still have to watch the temp. gauge. I only have temp issues when driving down the road, plow up, not doing the actual plowing (sounds like your problem too). The plow up position blocks all incoming air to the radiator, so try driving with the plow as low as possible, and angle it all the way to one side, this will let the air flow, and works well w/ my truck. Let me know if this works for u or not. Curt
