Since I don't know much about the electric shift I need some troubleshooting help. I have already done the normal troubleshooting. I do have 12 volts going to the shirt wire, green and blue, in fact I have now pulled the lower and checked the resistance it comes between to nominal requirement. When I placed the green wire, forward in this case onto the twelve volt post and then placed the ground to the case I do not hear any type of sound /movement coming from the magnets that cause the gears to activate. When i hold back the prop shaft and then turn the lower input shaft they appear to be in neutral as they should be correct ? So now i need some input on where to go next. I thought I had some understanding of how this works but someone told me I didn't but never gave me an explanation further. I hope someone can help me understand how it works and the steps for further troubleshooting. How do the magnets work in conjunction with the gears. I had reasoned that the magnets draw the gears into the pinion and they remain there until they are powered off when the shifter is placed in neutral. It would stand to reason that I should hear some noise when the current is applied to the wire and the prop would only move in one direction. If you ahve experience with this I would appreciate your insight, I miss my boat right now, the crappie are just raising hell....
