Hi,
newbie here.
The trim switch on my 1999 J40TPLEEA stuck. Meaning the momentary switch "UP" button does not "click", constant "on". So the trim motor would not stop until I quickly disconnected power cables from the battery. Upon reconnecting the cables I trimmed the motor down. I got a new used switch from the marine dealer who verified it's in working condition, but I get nothing when trying "up" or "down", I replaced both relays - no change. I disconnected the connector that goes right down to the tilt motor and connected the blue and green wires to the battery, I can get the trim to go up and down by reversing these two leads so the trim motor is good. I checked a fuse by the back of the motor - 20amp - looks good, I even swapped that with a new one, no change. I don't see anything else I can replace or test. Perhaps I missed something, I did review the various parts for this motor (tilt & ignition), but I don't see anything else in the circuit. I'm guessing that trim switch getting stuck on the up button burned up something, but what that I didn't already replace?
Any additional tips would be greatly appreciated, I'm considering bypassing this system and just run a fused lead to a floor or mounted switch if I can't get the default setup working - thanks in advance - Bob.
