help neede on t&t switch on cowl

[fishfeatures]

hi,



I'm after getting a t&t switch that goes on the side of my Johnson 1990 60 hp. there are three wires blue,green,red. Blue and green I know get connected to the trim motor lead which is a two wire motor. My quaetion is the about the red wire , does it go directly to the battery or do i need to fuse it or does it need to go through the diode box like the switch at the helm??

thanks for looking

k.

red wire gets a fuse and connected to battery...blue and green go to trim relays

that is what i'm running at the moment I want to add a second switch to this circuit and was just wondering how to and where. Hey Fucawi are you "alf stewart " in disguise??

Dude ... NOT!!! good advice , it didn't work and I think it started to short at the switch.......... please don't give advice if you're only guessing.



Anyway for future reference for anybody else,

After sitting down and studing some hastly drawn circuits, the only option the seemed valid was to run the wires to the corresponding wires at the helm mounted switch. Worked a treat and now both switches work.

Its not bad advice. that is the most common wire scheme. if in some case you happen to have the ground for the red wire then it would have only blown the fuse not the switch it sounds like you wired into the motor wires and not the relay wires
anyway it is good to see that it works
