ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a snowplow diagnostic and connection system for connecting a snowplow to a vehicle. The system includes an diagnostic circuit and an indicator which detects and indicates the status of various components of the snowplow and its controls. The indicator includes a specific indication of the status of each detected subsystem or each component, as well as providing a general warning if any problem is detected. The indicator has a plurality of LED's which individually represent the various subsystems or components. If a problem is detected with any of the subsystems or components, the vehicle's headlights are caused to flash, thus alerting the operator.
