Message: <blockquote data-quote="nobull1" data-source="post: 21066" data-attributes="member: 722">Well we got at it today to see what we could do. The fuse I replaced did in fact blow and did a couple more times. We tried a new solenoid and still blew fuses. Then we tried a new relay to no avail. This was looking like a wiring problem with a lot of searching anticipated. I just happened to notice on the inside of the back door the fuse location diagram. What I realized was the fuse that was continually blowing was in fact a accessory fuse (for what I don't know). The fuse on top of the blown fuse appeared OK but was in fact defective. Once I replaced that fuse all was fine with the new solenoid. After looking at the old solenoid it was apparent it was cracked and slightly raised Bakelite on the top where the wires go in. My guess is after warming up the ice melted and ran down on top of the solenoid and grounded out the solenoid. So after a dozen tries it appears to be working fine...hopefully.Good year to you Ken. Hope all is well in Northern Ontario. I have a couple new attachments we made to go with the new quick attach. Whenever the snow gets low enough I will post some pic's.Tazza, good idea about direct power to the solenoid. I also found a couple of ohm numbers to check as well, one coil should be 10-11 ohms the other 0.4-0.5. Unfortunately my ohm meter doesn't have the decimal point after 0 so that didn't work. I also suspect the ground would have disappeared after the solenoid dried.</blockquote>
