Testing Mercury trim/tilt

[Fouled Plug]

Have a 1989 Merc 90 T/T unit. 3 wires present, black-blue-green. Looking for a way to test unit. Is black ground and green/blue + for trim and tilt? Thanks!

Black is the ground, blue should go to the up solenoid, and green to the down solenoid.

Schematic, these wires come from the trim/tilt motor itself.

Fouled plug.....<br /><br />most reversable dc motors fall into these two styles. an ohm-meter will tell you which one you have. REMEMBER!! if you connect 12v directly across the armature, or directly across the fields by accident.........smoke!<br /><br />Good luck man...<br /><br />

Thanks, ODDD1. Good way to remember the color codes! Schematic, if that box with a red X is a diagram, It's a no-show.
