Re: GTR trim problems too often You bypass the switch to rule it out?

Re: GTR trim problems too often Is it old style trim unit or new style? My old style the brushes went bad. So I put new style on it had no problems.

Re: GTR trim problems too often I had the old set up with the relays and it always gave me problems. I installed the box on the tiller handle that does away with the relays and haven't had a problem since.
Are you running a console or tiller handle?

Re: GTR trim problems too often If it has relays.....shake them and the wires around a lil bit .
Get somebody to hold the switch down when it isn't workin and wiggle each wire near the relays one at a time to find culprit.

Re: GTR trim problems too often Make sure there are no broken wires, I had one break on the box above the starter and it did the same thing.

Re: GTR trim problems too often Yeah tried it all guys no luck...the relays are engaging or at least making noise when I try and trim down but no action. Could it be over pressured because it was ran on the up position too long?

Re: GTR trim problems too often swap the relays and see what happens. You can have one bad relay and it will still click but not go in one direction. If it is the relays look into the forward/ reverse solenoids and get rid of those relays.

Re: GTR trim problems too often Pull the relays apart and grease the contacts with dielectric grease; then seal them together with silicon.
