I am rebuilding an old boat that has a 1983 70hp Johnson. The first thing that I am trying to do is to get the Power trim to work. I pulled the solenoid switches, and as I did one of them needed to be replaced. I got all the wiring reworked to the solenoids and get the expected click from them, but the trim motor does nothing. I might need to replace the motor but not without being certain. Can I take the motor and connect the leds directly to the battery terminals? It is a three wire motor, so two are hot and one is ground. If I connect one hot led to positive and the ground to negative, should the power trim motor power up one direction?
