Author	Topic:   Tilt Motor
Johndeerewhisperer2705	posted 12-27-2006 07:16 PM ET (US)         I have a 88-SPL Johnson tilt and trim motor that won't run. It gets fire on either wire on either signal up/down from the console switch, but no noice or action from the motor. What can be done. I am thinking it is the motor. Has anyone else had this problem?

If you do, reverse the power leads and see if you get an opposite response. if you do than you have issue with other than your trim motor. Hope this helps, pm

You can use simple electrical troubleshooting techniques to investigate: Basic Electrical Troubleshooting Procedures http://continuouswave.com/ubb/Forum6/HTML/001139.html If you have voltage at the motor and it does not operate, the motor is probably defective.

If you get no response check your motor's ground, if your ground is good then you need a new trim motor.
