Motor and Electrical
Tests/Repair
Trim Pump Motor Test
WARNING
Do not perform this test near flammables (or ex-
plosives), as a spark may occur when making
connections.
1. Disconnect GREEN (motor) wire and BLUE (mo-
tor) wire from trim system wiring harness.
2. Connect a 12 volt power supply to motor wires
(POSITIVE to BLUE; NEGATIVE to GREEN re-
sults in motor up direction. POSITIVE to GREEN;
NEGATIVE to BLUE results in motor down direc-
tion). Motor should run.
3. If motor does not run, disassemble motor and
check components.
Solenoid Test
WARNING
Do not perform this test near flammables (or ex-
plosives), as a spark may occur when making
connections.
1. Disconnect all wires from solenoid terminals.
2. Set ohmmeter to Rx1 scale and connect meter to
solenoid terminals 1 and 2.
3. Connect a 12 volt power supply to terminals 3 and
4. Solenoid should click and meter should read
zero (0) ohms (full continuity).
