Relays could be bad. Is there any corrosion in the relay or the socket? It is nothing more than your typical "Bosch" type relay. Go to a parts house and buy a couple.

does the motor make any noise when trying to trim? swap relays, Make sure your battery is charged. Makes sure you have good connections.

check the wires going into the trim unit to see if you're getting 12 volts when the switch is engaged. If you've got 12 volts going into the trim, then the actuator is bad. If not, there's a wiring issue.

If all connections are good, battery is charged, and you allready verified the relays are good and checked the reset button.
When was the last time you serviced the actuator? May need hydraulic fluid.
Can you hear the motor in your trim turning? Trim motor may need replacing.

:oops: I just finished up with one & after scratching my head for a lil while tryin to figure out why I still had no power after changing the relays, I realized I never checked the damn $4 circuit breaker. Come to find out, that was bad. Relays still clicked, but had no juice.

Giga, all he had to do was push a red reset putton and his phoblem was solved. He is a novice and still learning so we helped him out. We all know how hard it is to change a prop on a gd so lets just let sleeping dogs sleep, before one bites the shit out of you.

Glow plugs are exactly what it states. It screws into the cylinder head of a diesel engine. Before you crank the engine after it sat overnight or the engine is cold, Voltage is applied to them and they GLOW in the cylinder to heat the combustion chamber. This additional heat helps the fuel air mixture combust to get the diesel running.

Ehh well. As wel all know diagnosing on the internet is all a gamble. Bring me a motor and a multi meter I will find it. Yall call it as yall see it. I enjoy finding a problem and fixing it. I see I was trying to be made a fool of, But I still provided my information. To all the haters, Fuck off! :lol:
