Hello i just purchased Brand New Mercruiser tilt and trim pump the high pressure low volume pump that replaces the old prestolite pump .also new hoses and new Trs hydraulic cylinders. installed everything for my Trs drive . i connected the old wire harness plug that went to the old pump and mated that plug with the female plug on the pump. and all i get is the the drive going down!! no matter what i press on the switch up or down it only goes down.somebody told me something about splicing the blue and white wire. but there are two blue and white wires and what am i supposed to splice them to?? please help!!! :confused:

Asking ONE TIME is enuff WILLE... When someone comes along who knows, they will reply... You got five threads going with the same question.....<br /><br />BTW.. I'll bet the wiring diagram is in the service manual....

TRS.......This the three button control? If so..Are you pushing the two top buttons at the same time to raise the drive?

Middle and bottom button is wrong to raise it. It should be the two top buttons to raise all the way. Bottom button to lower all the way. Middle button is for raising till the trim limit stops it.(if it has one) I try to look at my old books and see if I can help. What year??And HP?

Re: TILT AND TRIM PROBLEM!!! please help!

Just took a quick look at a old diagram. Since I dont know your year or HP Im guessing. If you did not change ANYTHING with the WIRING from the plug when you installed the pump. It looks to me the green/white and the blue/white (which i think is your wire colors) were not installed correctly in the new wiring harness of the new pump. They need to be switched in the plug........but Im guessing from the info I have.<br /><br />I have a wiring diagram I can e-mail you if you would like?
