i have a 1987 force that the power trim workers if you take the wieght of it the small mane trim that moves it went do drive it works barely but the other two that look like a shock on a car dont work how do i fix this and whats wrong with this
your trim is controled by the short ram in the middle, one of the outer 2 is the tilt ram " the one with the line running to it" and the other is just like a shock. the tilt only works after the trim maxs out, trim is slow and tilt goes faster.
motor runs but does not lift at all = blown piston or blown pump
lifts to top of trim and stops = worn out pump or low fluid
lifts past trim but not full up, holds position = low on fluid
lifts past trim but bleeds back down = worn out pump
runs in one direction but not the other = relay or wiring
doesn't do anything = motor
