Hi guys,
I've been piecing a 97 chapparal 27 sig back together from previous owner neglect. The more I go, the more I find.
Replacing the trim limit/sender switches:
I took off the lower unit and replaced all seals, bellows, hoses and trim switches. My problem is, the previous owner had cut these connections and/or the wires coming in from transom were corroded. So, I have everything buttoned up and back together with limit/sender wires in engine bay, and I can't for the life of me find their home.
1. The trailer switch works up and down.
2. From the dash harness to pump solenoid I have a green/white connected, a red/black connected, a blue/white that is cut and a purple/white that is cut. (Shouldn't these be terminated somewhere? See pic)
3. At the transom: I have a brown/white and black that appeared to be connected to prior switch, I also have a purple/white that is capped.
4. Solenoid works when hot wired.
5. Pump works.
6. Gauges have power.
My assumption is that previous owner was using trailer switch to operate and I don't know what he did in between.
I jerry-rigged both wires to the brown/white and black to see if anything worked and nothing on gauge or trim toggle.
Could my throttle trim toggle be bad? Its a little flimsy.
It's 4 wires that go somewhere. If anyone can tell me where the 2 sender wires terminate and the 2 limit wires terminate, it would much appreciated. Or anything else I should be testing to figure out where this has gone bad.
Thank you!
