So the SnowPlowOmatic is coming along nicely.
Silly me, it has to look store-bought so were taking
some time to do the wiring right using Deutsch connectors
and soldering all joints w/ double shirink wrap etc. I hit
a snag as in the L&R plow switch has a #18 wire that
needs 12V and the main motor has #12 wires that need
12V as well. I wrote warn and asked for the fuse size
I should use, I was floored when they said NONE.
No kidding, I have it in writing.

I AM PROTECTING these circuits w/ fuses. So I opened the
fuse box and plugged in one of those add-a-circuit fuse deals
but when I went to put the lid on the fuse box it would not fit!

THAT lead into a whole new project. It WILL be right...

The build is 99% done. A few zip ties here and there
and it is ready for the trailer and off to the PNW. It might
not be till next year before it is used in snow but now I
am ready. I foresee no issues. It will work well. Couple this
w/ a 5' rear blade I own and I will enjoy moving snow.
(well, so long as my Gerbings 12V heated boxers work! Ha! )

The plow is 100% removable. I had to adjust every wire for
the plow, I did it w/ Deutsch Connectors. On the FEL you
can see an Orange Pelican box, that is a junction box /
a holder for the "contactor" for the plow as well. Looks
store bought.

Video does a good job of showing that your design works as planned. Would love to give your plow/bucket a try here :)
