Mercruiser Power Trim
I have a 1999 Mercruiser Alpha ! Gen II sterndrive. The power trim does not
go up with the shift mounted control, but does activate with the TRAILER button. The service manual suggests that the switch may be faulty. I also have some trouble shooting info in the manual to try. The trim pump is located in a hard to get at location. before I try to get at the pump, I though I would ask the group for suggestions. Thanks in advance.... Dave |

That is possible. Also is possible that the trim limit switch is out of
adjustment or defective. Two pairs of black, lamp cord like wires come out of the top of the transom plate. The wires are 3 or 4 feet long. One of the pairs will have a blue identifier on one wire end and a purple identifier on the other. You can unplug the leads and check switch operation with an ohmmeter. Only test the switch. Ohming the other side will blow the meter or a fuse within the meter. Then you can jumper the wires together and see if the trim switch works.

Dave If you haven't done so, take the switch apart and clean it. Do the same for the trailer switch, even though it works now. -- ****************************************** ***** Have a Spectacular Day! ***** ****************************************** John |
