Thanks. It shows 8 possible problems it could be, so i geuss i got my work cut out. I am hoping it just is a corroded connection. Wierd this is 2 of the possibilities have to do with the "Armature Commutator" , which is not shown in wiring diagram or the trim/pump diagram and i have no idea where it is or what it looks like.
The commutator is on the end of the armature assembly. It's what the brushes run on to allow power to flow through the armature windings... Being a DC motor is needs a commutator as opposed to slip-rings for an AC motor or alternator.
This is a commutator...
.... on the commutator magnets. ...
Magnets??? do you mean brushes?
There was nothing that looked like brushes. There was 2 sm. triangular pieces that were on springs. The diagram shows them as brushes, but they are solid, and i thought they looked like magnets.
After some testing today i found--
1) no fuses were popped
2) all connections were clean and tight
3) i had 12V the red stage 5 terminal
4) i had no power at all on the stage 2,3 or 4 terminal
5) i pulled apart my armature assembly and did not see anything suspect anywhere, just a tiny bit of black dust on the commutator magnets. No rust anywhere. It did have grease on the very top of the shaft.
6) I got the trim to work once and now sometimes i get clicks up/down, sometimes no clicks.
Sounding like bad Solenoids?
I still have to test the wiring harness yet.
Not to be Mr. obvious here but have you checked it while its running. You might have a weak battery.
The diagram is right... There are brushes.. not like a broom type brush :facepalm:...
Ayuh,... Not that it's Wrong, but that's completely Backwards from the way I'd diagnose it...
They or there? What i am describing is the brushes? With a part name as "brushes" one would think that it would resemble such, but i guess i am just silly
One other thing, to go up, use the trailer button, not the trim button, because if it is already up it may be above the trim limit.
