trim problem

[fischnrod]

Can't trim motor up and i have checked everything i know to check, any suggestions.....1995 225 mariner super mag------- could the motor be bad if it trims down but not up?

Did you check the relays? One way to see if one is bad is to switch them. If it then trims up and not down, you've got a bad one.

yep done that already,i know it aint the relay cuz i put it on the down relay that i know is working and the motor still won't run

That is a 2 wire motor. You are simply reversing the polarity. If it runs 1 direction and not the other it is not a motor. If it will not trim UP. replace the DOWN relay. If you need help call me 304-0930. If it was a old 3 wire motor then yes, it could be bad but not with a 2 wire. Wiring is complex, backwards, but simple. I will not look that motor up that you pm about. You don't need it.

I can swing by one day if you need me to. Would just be a little out of the way if you are in dallas bay area.

Thanks to all of you, I got it going today after talking to a mechanic at Fish-n-Fun he said something that made a lightbulb turn on, The green wire is not the ground on 12 volt systems and i was overlooking that fact. Maybe because i work in Industrial electricity and green or bare is always the ground.. emoDoh


WRECHEN2 AND FISH-N-FUN WAS ONLY TOO HAPPY TO HELP!

No problem!! Would have been happy to have came by. VERY familair with the wiring. Would not have taken just a minute to have found it. Glad you got it done though!!!!
