including blade and ballast.
The rating label is found on the
driver-side vehicle door
cornerpost.
WARNING
Remove blade assembly before
placing vehicle on hoist.
• Park the vehicle on a level surface,
place shift lever in PARK or
NEUTRAL and set parking brake.
• Leave the snowplow mounted on
the vehicle and lowered for most
service procedures, unless told
otherwise.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Wear only snug-fitting clothing
while working on your vehicle or
snowplow.
• Do not wear jewelry or a necktie,
and secure long hair.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION
• Wear safety goggles to protect
your eyes from battery acid,
gasoline, dirt and dust.
WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable
and gasoline vapor is
explosive. Never smoke while
working on vehicle. Keep all
open flames away from
gasoline tank and lines. Wipe
up any spilled gasoline
immediately.
• Avoid touching hot surfaces such
as the engine, radiator, hoses and
exhaust pipes.
• Always have a fire extinguisher
handy, rated BC for flammable
liquids and electrical fires.
VENTILATION
Be careful when using gasoline. Do
not use gasoline to clean parts. Store
only in approved containers away from
sources of heat or flame.
WARNING
Vehicle exhaust contains
deadly carbon monoxide (CO)
gas. Breathing this gas, even
in low concentrations, could
cause death. Never operate a
vehicle in an enclosed area
without venting exhaust to the
outside.
HYDRAULIC SAFETY
WARNING
Hydraulic oil under pressure
could cause skin injection
injury. If you are injured by
hydraulic oil, get medical
attention immediately.
If you work on the vehicle or snowplow
in a garage or other enclosed area, be
sure to vent exhaust gas directly to
the outside through a leakproof
exhaust hose.
• Always inspect hydraulic
components and hoses before
using. Replace any damaged or
worn parts immediately.
• If you suspect a hose leak, DO
NOT use your hand to locate it.
Use a piece of cardboard or wood.
• Always loosen plugs, fittings and
valves slowly to bleed off any
residual pressure.
BATTERY SAFETY
CAUTION
Batteries normally produce
explosive gases which can
cause personal injury.
Therefore, do not allow
flames, sparks or lit tobacco to
come near the battery. When
charging or working near a
battery, always cover your face
and protect your eyes, and
also provide ventilation.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid
which burns skin, eyes and
clothing.
Disconnect the battery before
removing or replacing any
electrical components.

stop—after a period of time. This
helps prolong the battery charge. The
time-out period for the RAISE function
is 4.8 seconds, while the angle
function is 9.6 seconds.
The control automatically turns off
after being idle for 20 minutes.
Smooth Stop
The control automatically allows the
blade to coast to a stop. This results
in smoother operation, reduces the
shock to the hydraulic system and
increases hose and valve life.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Snowplow Daytime Running
Lamps
Snowplow Headlamps
The Isolation Module acts as an
electrical hub, automatically directing
vehicle power to the appropriate
vehicle or snowplow lighting devices,
while also supplying battery power to
the snowplow control.
The vehicle high and low beams enter
and exit the Isolation Module through
positions 3 (left side lighting) and
position 4 (right side lighting). Park,
turn, and DRL signals also enter
through positions 3 and 4.
The output of the vehicle dimmer
switch is directed to the Isolation
Module via the long and short plug-in
harnesses. When the snowplow is not
attached to the vehicle, the signal
passes through the normally closed
relay contacts to the vehicle
headlamps. During this time, the
Isolation Module is inactive, placing no
current draw on the vehicle's electrical
system.
Turning on the vehicle parking lights
activates a series of relays,
automatically transferring the vehicle
high and low beams to the snowplow
while supplying battery power directly
to the snowplow parking lights. All
snowplow lighting exits the Isolation
Module through position 2.
Because Daytime Running Lamps
(DRLs) are controlled differently on
some vehicles, two Isolation Modules
have been developed.
The standard Isolation Module
transfers the DRL output from the
vehicle headlamps to the snowplow
lights when the vehicle ignition switch
is on and the snowplow is attached.
Turning on the vehicle ignition switch
energizes a snowplow control relay,
supplying vehicle battery power
directly to the control via the vehicle
control harness. The vehicle ignition
switch also supplies power to the
vehicle turn signals. Activating the
vehicle turn signals energizes turn
signal relays, which supply vehicle
battery power directly to the snowplow
turn signals.
The Isolation Module designed for the
1999-20_ GMC All New Sierra and
1999-20_ Chevy Silverado senses the
vehicle in the DRL mode. A series of
relays energize, placing the snowplow
headlamps in the DRL mode. This
Isolation Module does not turn off the
dedicated vehicle DRLs.
With the snowplow attached, the
Isolation Module is still inactive until
either of the two following conditions
are met: the vehicle parking lights are
turned on or the vehicle ignition switch
is turned on.
Lit. No. 27179
15
July 2001
THEORY OF OPERATION
Snowplow Hydraulics
The snowplow hydraulic system
performs four blade movements:
RAISE, LOWER, ANGLE RIGHT, AND
ANGLE LEFT.
All four movements require the vehicle
ignition (key) switch to be in the run or
accessory position and the cab
control to be turned on.
BLADE
MOVEMENT
Lit. No. 27179
Power to the three solenoid cartridge
valves is supplied by the vehicle
battery, via the Isolation Module and
cab control. The three solenoid
cartridge valves operate in various
combinations, electrically activated by
the cab control, to send hydraulic fluid
to the snowplow lift and angle
cylinders or back to the reservoir.
Three hydraulic movements require
energizing the electric motor, shifting
solenoid cartridge valve(s) or activating
check valves. The fourth function,
LOWER, does not energize the motor
but shifts a solenoid cartridge valve.

RAISE – ELECTRICAL
Blade Movement: Raise
Control: Raise
System Response:
1) By moving control lever or pressing
the control button, the circuit
board within the cab control
switches power to the electrical
circuits.
2) Motor relay closes, current flows
through the motor relay, activating
the pump motor. +12V is applied
to the coil of solenoid cartridge
valve S3, shifting the spool.
3) Hydraulic oil from the pump flows
through solenoid cartridge valves
S3 & S2, through the internal
check valve in solenoid cartridge
valve S1 into the base end of the
lift cylinder causing it to extend.

2) When the snowplow contacts an
object, the force of the impact
increases the hydraulic pressure
in the base end of the cylinder.
When the pressure exceeds the
relief valve pressure setting, the
relief valve opens allowing oil to
flow to the base of the opposite
cylinder.

Introduction
How to Use the
Troubleshooting Guide
This guide consists of a series of
tables, diagrams, flowcharts and other
information. When used properly it
helps the mechanic to identify and
repair faulty system components.
Fisher Engineering recommends using
the Electrical Tester as a timesaving
tool for electrical system diagnosis.
When using this tester, refer to the
supplied instruction manual.
When diagnosing the snowplow
electrical and hydraulic systems,
some conditions must be eliminated
in order to develop valid tests. These
conditions are listed before the tables
or flowcharts and must be satisfied
before proceeding.
If the listed conditions are not met,
the procedure can result in inaccurate
results and wasted time.
All malfunctions of the snowplow can
be categorized as mechanical,
electrical, or hydraulic. Mechanical
issues are generally related to the
blade or attachments and can usually
be identified by visual inspection.
However, electrical and hydraulic
issues can be difficult to trace to the
component level and that is the
purpose of this troubleshooting guide.
In many cases, satisfying the listed
conditions alone solves the problem.
1. Go to the General Diagnostic
Table and satisfy the nine listed
conditions. These conditions
must be met before proceeding
into the table or to any subsequent
test.

Inspection .................................... 49
Vehicle Headlamp Test .............. 50

2. Locate the condition in the table
which best describes the problem
and check possible causes and
actions in the order listed.
Read and understand the Theory
of Operation before attempting
troubleshooting.
3. Proceed to a service procedure,
another condition, or a specific
test as directed. All tests except
the Hydraulic System Test use a
Lamps Test .................................. 65
Snowplow Daytime Running
Lamps Test .................................. 66
Lit. No. 27179
33
flowchart format. To use these
flowcharts, first satisfy any listed
conditions at the top of the page.
Then begin at the upper left square
and proceed as directed.
4. Follow along sequentially through
the table and tests, referring to the
hydraulic and electrical
schematics in the Theory of
Operation section and the
component Identification and
Location diagrams. Eventually the
problem is identified at the
component level.
Electrical Testing
Read and understand the Theory of
Operation section. A simple 12V test
light with a ground lead can be used
for circuit testing. When directed to
check for 12 volts (12V), ground the
test lamp lead and probe the terminal.
When asked to check for ground,
attach the test lamp lead to +12V and
probe the terminal. Note that 12V is a
nominal value. If using a voltmeter,
actual voltage will vary with the vehicle
and the presence of loads in tested
circuits. Continuity alone does not
guarantee a good circuit. Poor
connectors or damaged wires may
have continuity but be unable to carry
sufficient current.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM TEST
This test consists of trying all the
snowplow functions and comparing
the snowplow reaction to the action
requested in the following table. The
table will pinpoint faulty solenoid
valves or p/o check valve accurately if
only one component is malfunctioning.
If the snowplow reaction for a given
function is not listed in the table, there
may be a relief or p/o check valve
which is stuck open or contaminated,
missing or damaged o-rings or
backing rings on cartridge, relief or p/o
check valve, or there may be two or
more faulty components. In this case,
use the specific function hydraulic
schematic and carefully inspect each
component in the flow circuit. If

be reasonably assumed that the
entire system is contaminated and
in order to perform a proper
repair, the entire hydraulic unit
must be disassembled and
cleaned. The hoses and cylinders
must also be disassembled and
cleaned. The source of the
contamination must be located
and repaired before reassembly.
2. Bench test the cartridge valve by
installing a coil on the stem and
applying 12V and ground. Watch
through the side ports for internal
