Trim Limit Sending Switch Questions

[kdmiller8251]

Question: I Just had these replaced on my Alpha I<br />What exactly are they supposed to do? <br />I know one side tells the Trim Gauge where the Drive is at. What is the limit switch supposed to do? I assume limit the drive movement... Why would you want this? What problems can arise if its not limited?? I noticed that now when I use it it will not go up all the way unless I use the trailer switch.... Is this supposed to be like that?? <br /><br />Thanks <br /><br />Tallman

Yes...it's normal to have to use the trailer switch to lift it all the way, while you are running there is more stress on the u-joints as you lift the drive, the limit switch is to prevent you from going beyond a safe range and possibly damaging your drive
