Snow plow question

[Bob]

Yesterday, in all this ice and snow I was plowing the Church parking lot. The plow started acting funny. It's a Western model. When I move the toggle to turn it left it went right and stayed there. I checked the fluid level, wires and made sure the couplings were not froze.. It started working again for a little while but did it again and stayed there. The right push cylinder does not seem to be working. The left push cylinder hydraulic line is full off pressure when the toggle switch is telling the right to push. Any thoughts?

Not sure what kind of electrical connector a Western has, but when mine started acting up and doing/not doing strange things (Mine's a Curtis) it was crud or ice messing up the electrical connections in the plug. Unhook your connector, give both ends a real good cleaning, and liberally apply some electrically conductive grease inside the connector, and I'd be willing to bet your problem will go away.

Actually I did that except for the grease. The wires are protected from snow, water and ice. I will double check the wiring anyway.
Thanks
