The spice must flow in and through me.
The fire will cleanse me body and soul.

That's uhhh certainly a thing.

I probably would have bodged the low beam wiring to run the second solenoid, TBH, it's right there and it's not like you give a poo poo about low beams on a cabin plow truck.

That sounds like more effort than this truck is worth. The PO clearly did almost no maintenance on it. That rat's nest of wiring actually is better sorted now than when I got it.

I'm not sure running the second solenoid off the low beam wiring would make a difference, since all of the valves are working, I suspect it's the actual Left on the controller.

Raise -> S1 = works
Right -> S2 = works
Float -> S3 = works
Left -> S2 + S3 = no bueno

I've already rerun some of the wiring with new wire, replaced various crimps, put in actual connectors so I can take it off if I need to, replaced the solenoid
I would also like the option to take the plow off to drag stuff around the property if I need it during the summer. Also replaced the DC contractor just in case that was funky.

Honestly at this point, there's not more I could do to make it worse. And I have no more time or fucks left to give in this particular project which wasn't supposed to be a project. New tires are going on it the beginning of November, then it's off to the cabin.
