Can't trim up ?

[Paintman1960]

Good morning, hope everyone is well. We were on the river yesterday and all of a sudden trim up stopped working , It will trim up with trailer button Tho. Pump is very hard to get to. I do know the pump has 2 solenoids on it. so when I get in there what am I going to be looking for? I'm guessing they are both the same? I have never monkeyed with these pumps before. Can someone tell me what color wires I am looking for? Thanks guys
BTW, It is a A1G1 drive

If you can trailer up the pump and solenoids are working ,whats not working is the trim limit switch on the transom. Locate the black lamp cord type wire ,unplug from the pump and jumper the pump side with 2 male connectors

Thanks Bt doctur, Not sure what you mean. are you talking about the wires coming from trim senders on the drive? where they come to the pump?
Does that mean the sender is failed?. I don't want to sound dumb but I'm not following you

You have a trim sensor (that feeds your gauge) and a trim limit switch mounted on the drive. The limit switch is there to prevent the drive from raising past a certain point to prevent damage when underway. The trim switch wiring feeds through the limit switch, which opens when the drive is too high and prevents it from raising further. The trailer switch (at the helm) bypasses the limit switch. Doing as BT suggests bypasses the limit switch. It definitely isn't worth replacing. Or you can just leave it be and use the trailer switch to trim.

Nice, they changed to sealed units at some point...

The internal white part (the wiper) is replaceable on some. I replaced just the wiper on mine and it worked out great.
