Both trim sensors don't function. I have a Bravo One drive with the reservoir for the drive oil and it has a sensor of some sort in the bottom of the bottle with 2 wires. It is wired into one of the trims sensor wiring.
Is that correct? I cant see how it is, but I also cant seem to locate any diagram on where should be wired in or what that bottle sensor should even do. I'm thinking this is a possible reason either the trim gauge or trim limit doesn't work. I have not tried just bypassing that sensor and plugging it back like I think it should work. Thought I should ask first as this is my first drive with the bottle.

If someone has an idea im open.

The lube bottle should not be connected to the trim wiring. The bottle should be connected to a Tan/Blue and Black wires.

Thanks for the diagram alldodge and the wire colors for the bottle. I promise to put it to good use.
