Hi all,
I have a weird problem with my outboard I hope someone will know what is causing it. I can only trim my motor down, the up doesn't work anymore. I did several tests already. I know the trim motor is good since I unhooked the blue and green wire from the trim relay and was able to make the motor go up or down by applying them directly on the battery terminals. I know the relay is good since I tested it in another motor and it works normally. If I unhook the small plastic terminal with the light green/sky blue wires from the relay and test the circuit continuity, everything works fine when the battery is not hooked to the motor: both the switch on the remote and on the motor itself work normal, and give continuity between the red and sky blue wire when I press up and continuity between the red and light green wire when I press down. The problem arise when I connect my motor to the battery. Now, when I press the up button, there is current going in both the light blue AND pale green wires while the down button only gives current to the light green wire as it should.. Anyone ever had that problem or have an idea what could cause this??? Thanks so much for your help! I'm out of idea!
