Re: Power Trim not working
Here is the troubleshooting chart for the Gen II.
You wouldn't have the pdf for the alpha 1 handy would you??
edit: no worries - see update below ;0)
I just finished fault finding with the gen 2 pdf - My symptoms are that the trailer switch will raise her up, the trim (down) switch will lower it, but the trim "up" switch is inoperative - when lowering, the pump does not cut out at full down but continues with a change in the sound pitch (normal? I'm new to the whole trim things) - continuity check when the leads are disconnected shows an open circuit and the gen 2 pdf says replace the limiting switch (apparently I need to replace both at the same time and this requires pulling the leg)
I guess that what I really want to verify is that "this" part of the troubleshooting is the same on alpha 1's as it is on the gen 2's?
If I have to pull the leg, I might as well run without for a few weeks till I do winterizing anywho?? Won't hurt anything other than slowing me down a bit correct?
UPDATE: Found a picture to verify what leg I have and apparently I have the gen II - which is good cuz the pdf is correct
Also did a bit more poking around now that I found out what the switches look like (doh!) It's definitely the switch wiring as I found one sheered right off at the gimble :0/
So back to the original kestion - do I "have" to pull the leg and will it hurt to run without the trim for a few weeks?
Thanks in advance folks - loving this place already
