Trim DOWN doesn't work, UP does.

[Technician]

Sorry for all the newbie questions everyone but it seems used boats=minor repairs. This was posted along with my other post about the shifting.<br /><br />I went by at lunch and looked at it and this is what I came up with. When I push the flip switch down, I can hear the switch kick but nothing happens. I took off the cover and switched the two on the Bosh fuse blocks and the same thing, just click.<br /><br />Can someone point me in the next direction for tracking down the problem?<br /><br />The motor has a leak down issue too so once I release the motor it will release to a position where I can still drive it, I just can't trim it out too well.<br /><br />Thanks

Have you checked the fluid level?<br />What happens when you flip the switch up?<br />Did it ever work? Or is this a new to you motor?

ended up being a bad wire connection to one of the two relays.<br /><br />haven't checked the fluid level yet.. everything is new to me..lol. I got a Force manual and I plan on going through it next week and checking everything out before I break down.

Good news.<br />Sounds like a plan.
