Need help with trim

[artomcaller]

My tilt/trim went out on my 91 Evinrude 150 XP last week. I had trimmed the motor all the way up and it pinched the wires going to the tilt/trim motor causing a short in the wiring. I repaired the wires last night and was able to trim up and down. I tilted the motor up and put the transom saver on and lowered the motor again.

Two hours later I was putting on a new gas line and when I hit the tilt/trim up button the relays made a buzzing sound. It does the same thing with the down button. Are the relays bad?

When the short occurred, the wires got hot and it looks like the relay harness (where it plugs in) may have melted a little around the wires.

What do yall think?

Re: Need help with trim

if it was one the transom saver, it could not go down. or it sounds like it needs a rewire.

Have you repaired where it melted like Tash stated with the rewire?

Re: Need help with trim

I repaired the wiring and replaced the relays and it makes a buzzing sound when you hit the switch. I can bypass the relays and the trim motor works. I got out a volltage meter and I am getting 12V to the relay, 12V to the hot wire of the rocker switch but only get 6V back to the relay from the rocker switch when checked at the relay and only 3V from the relay to the trim motor. I bypassed the rocker switch and still get the buzzing sound.

Anyone know where I can get a tilt/trim wiring diagram for a 1990 Evinrude 150 XP?

Just a thought have you cleaned all of the grounds?
