The boat is normally on my lift behind my house. When the hurricanes came through I pulled the boat and trailered it to safety with the engine down. I noticed the engine was in the up position when I put the boat in a safe place. I cycled the engine up and down a couple of times, seemed normal, left it down. Then brought the boat back home and the engine was up again. This time the tilt would only go down for a second, once the limit switch was engaged the engine went right back up.
So it started as an intermittent problem and is now a permanent problem.
I have replaced the Tilt/Trim relay, did not help.
Started measuring voltage at the engine and found 12V on light blue wires that goes to relay (these are the up wires connected to the limit switch, relay and up switch at engine).
Disconnected the up down buttons on both the remote and the engine side.
Still had voltage on light blue at engine.
Found 12v on blue/Lt.blue and green/red wires at the remote wiring when disconnected from the up-down switch. These wires go back to the engine harness and are pretty much lost by the time they get to the engine. See attached photos voltage is on lower set on wires when disconnected.
Something went bad and I have looked at the wiring diagram and can find no reason for voltage to be on the blue wires.
I hope someone can help me.
