Yammy Trim Switch Failure

You wouldn't need a relay assembly Bill, just a new relay or two (a few
bucks); Pick up a spare relay or two anyway, sooner or later one will go on
ya. It's a b-tch when you're up the lake & you can't trim your motor...

Huck,

by chance, do you know where the relay is located?

thanks,

Guys,

Problem solved. I didn't think it was the relays since the switch
mounted on the motor worked fine. The remote switch has a pigtail about
3 feet long that has the little bullet type quick disconnect connectors
on it. These quick disconnects plug into matching connectors that come
out of a multipin connector that is the harness that goes back to the
engine. In this multi pin connector, the blue wire, which is the "Up"
control wire...the contact had been pushed back within the connector and
wasn't making good contact. I used some contact cleaner on all of the
connections, pushed the contact back into the connector, plugged it back
together and violo! Up trim.

thanks for all of your responses....by the way, I priced that relay
assembly from my local dealer $207!

Warren,


Interesting...I didn't bother to remove the assembly but I gather from
what you are suggesting is the relay's are replacable in the assembly.
I'll definetly keep that in mind. I sold electronic parts for 10 years
so if they are available I can find one!

thanks again,
BD
