I was moving logs out the woods today, nothing too heavy or crazy and next thing I know the grapple is no longer opening and closing. I started looking everything over then came to the fuse and it was blown. So I went and bought more fuses and the second I put a new one in and tried it out it blew again. I looked at all the wiring and didn’t see any issues that I could tell. The company I bought it from is coming out tomorrow to pick it up since I’ve only had it for 2 weeks however I was just curious if others have encountered this problem before.

The junction box where the connections are made on the valve is really cramped and probably someone didn't make sure the screws were all tight. I would check there for a shorted conductor. ;)
