Hey guys I have issues with my trim pump again. Previously i was having issues last year and had to replace a solenoid but this time the problems are different they appear to be working because the motor sounds when pressing up and down. the motor will no longer go up or down just hums. You cant really see anything in this video but you can hear the sounds it makes when you try to up or down.

Re: Trim issues :(

Make sure the PTT pump resvoir is full. Motors of that vintage use 5W-30 motor oil. If yours has ATF, continue to use it. That PTT unit is not self bleeding. Refer to the service manual to bleed it properly.

If that doesn't fix it, you amy have sheared the armature of the motor..
