Hello everyone

I just started to have issues all of a sudden with my power tilt. A couple of days ago I noticed the tilt wasn't responding to commands and then two minutes later it was back to normal. The following day it started to misbehave again working, then not working.

I brought it home and change the fluid to make sure it was full using a procedure I read from this website.

I came to realize that when the motor is turned to port it doesn't work and as soon as I turn the steering to starboard the tilt works as it should....I began to wiggle the wires thinking it was just a bad connection but nothing seems to work when the steering is turned to the port side.This make no sense to me what so ever. I wonder if anyone has heard of this in the past.

Thank you

If you can't hear the tilt motor run when you turn the motor to port you have some electrical probs.
