Meyer Plow Controls

There have been many controls used to operate Meyer plows over the years.
Lets start at the beginning of the most current electric over hydraulic designs.

SKU: SBSE-46DECAL

The E-46 Electro-Lift was a basic raise and lower unit, it did not have power angle. It required one switch.

SKU: SBSToggles

Meyer Toggle Switch Controls Wiring Diagram

The E-47 featured Power Angle. Power Angle first debuted on Electrolift Meyer plows in 1969 (on the U-13 pump). The first E-47 panel was a 2 switch panel. The switch to go from vehicle lights to plow lights was typically mounted by drilling a hole in the dashboard. As vehicles became more complex and refined, Meyer went to a 3 switch panel like in the picture above, that had a place for the light switch to go from vehicle lights to plow lights. The 2 switch panel is no longer available

Meyer Touchpad Controller Wiring Diagram

When the E-60 Quik Lift came out, it used a small square analog Touchpad Controller (on the left above). Later models used a more refined larger, rectangular, digital Touchpad Controller with raised arrow shaped buttons (M22154X). The Touchpad was later used with the E-57, and E-58H as well. This Touchpad, with a Touchpad Harness can control the E-47, E-57, E-60, and the E-58H (must have E-58H harness). This digital Touchpad has a built in split second delay that holds open whatever valve was being used to perform a function (left, right, up, down) to prevent the valve from slamming shut, resulting in a loud bang, and the blade jumping to the left. It is HIGHLY recommended that the Touchpad Controller be used with the E-57, E-58, and E-60 units. It requires a separate switch to go from vehicle lights to plow lights. NOTE: There are aftermarket touchpad controllers all over eBay. IF it does not say Meyer right on the face, it is NOT Genuine Meyer.

Meyer Slik Stik Controller Wiring Diagram

The Slik Stik made its debut with the E-57 pump (yes the E-57 came out after the E-60). It can be used to control the E-47, and the E-57, though a Touchpad Controller is a better choice for the E-57 and explained above. Meyer named it the Slik Stik, everyone just calls it a joystick. It requires a separate switch to go from vehicle lights to plow lights.

SKU: M22693

The Pistol Grip came out as a replacement for the original wireless controller used with the Xpress plow.

SKU: M22690

Pistol Grip Wiring

(2010) The Pistol Grip is now the standard controller for all Meyer plows. There is a straight blade version (above), a V plow version, and the Xpress Plow version. It now features an automatic raise and lower feature. When the vehicle is shifted into forward or reverse, the plow can automatically raise and lower. It also automatically switches from Vehicle lights to plow lights when the Pistol Grip Controller is turned on.

Beginning with the 2014 - 15 season, Meyer started "choose your controller". It was the first time that they did not include a "standard" controller with a plow package. In the past, there was a standard controller packaged with the hydraulic unit, and there were various upgrade options. The prices varied as well. Beginning in 2014 - 15, they priced the 22690, 22695, 22154, and 22790 the same. I left off the DC and X because the letter designations have changed over the years. It was only the 22693 that operated the Xpress Plow (with E-68) that was more expensive. The DEALER has to choose the controller when they place the order for the plow from Meyer. In 2015 they raised the price of the 22154, but not the 22690, 22695, or 22790.

The 22695 and 22790 (OBSOLETE JANUARY 2018) are "Deluxe" controllers. This means they will control a straight plow, OR a V plow. There is nothing else "deluxe" about them, that is it. On the flip side, the 22690 and 22154 will ONLY control straight plows, and the 22693 still only controls the Xpress E-68. The V-71 that is ONLY used on the current Super VLD 7.5 uses the 22869X Pistol Grip controller. It looks the same as the 22695, but ONLY controls the V-71. Early models of the Super VLD used V-70 hydraulics, so pull the cover and see which one you have before searching for a new controller. Meyer calls the 22869X a "Deluxe" controller, but again, it will NOT control any Meyer plow other than the Super VLD.

ALL of the current Pistol Grip Controllers are "DC" Controllers. This means if you tap any button twice with no delay, the plow will automatically continue that function for 3 or 4 seconds. So if your plow is all the way to the right, and you double click the left arrow rapidly, you can let go because the plow will go all the way to the left by itself. The same holds true for up or down. If you tap down twice, the plow will go down and into float mode, no need to hold the down button for 2 seconds. IF you do not like the Double Click, you can use the new 22790 Joystick Controller. It does NOT have the Double Click functions.

Meyer Plow Wiring Info Scroll down to the 22691S (used on ALL new Meyer plows) diagram. It is the standard harness used with all of the Pistol Grip Controllers. The 22691S replaced the 22691. It has a replaceable end that just screws on, and the harness is split into two behind the plug to make running wires easier, especially when the truck battery is on the passenger side.

There is a new operating system that made its debut in 2015 called the SOS (Standard Operating System). It uses a Touchpad Controller (23022) that ONLY works with the SOS. This is because the SOS does not use ANY of the wiring that is shared by ALL other current Meyer plows. It does not use the 22691S vehicle side harness. It picks up marker, and turn signals from the rear trailer plug. It does not interface with the vehicle headlights. There are no light Modules. The SOS black iron is called the High-Rider. It is called the High-Rider because the ears on the back of the A Frame which normally connect to the bottom of the Lift Frame, have been moved forward and up. This gives the High-Rider more ground clearance than any other Meyer plow, and some other brands as well. I think the High-Rider is a great idea at this point.

So there you have it. The list of Meyer plow controllers.
UPDATE: 2019 - The SOS now comes standard with what they are calling the "deluxe" Pistol Grip Controller 23047

It looks and works the same as the "normal" 22690DC Pistol Grip Controller, except for a couple of little things. First, when you turn it on, if you do not hold the button down long enough, it will only turn on the plow low beams, (lights only mode like the 22690DC) BUT the power button is used to toggle between the plow high and low beams. So you hold it down, the controller lights up green, and the low beams are on. Press power again, and it goes to high beams, press power again, and it goes back to low beams. HOLD the button down to turn off the controller. Another little thing I have seen with every SOS I have installed, is that when you press up, right, or left, the Monitor light will blink 3 times quickly, as if there is a problem, there is no problem. It seems to be "normal" for this controller.

Toggle Switch Controls for use with Meyer Touchpad Harness
We have all been there with a Touchpad. The red overload light keeps coming on, and you have to reset the controller, but it keeps happening. This is because the Touchpad is constantly sensing amp draw and continuity of each function. THIS solves your problem......
