Hi,
I have a '96 Johnson 115hp v4 - great engine. Tilt/trim recently started acting funny - it would go up and not down. Troubleshooting reveals the fault lies somewhere between the "out" relay (out to Trim motor) and the 1st connector in the wiring from the relay box. I ran a couple wires from connector end to other connector end, and then reversed them. I found that when I reversed them, the green wire connection works between connectors, but the blue wire connection does not.
I also swiched relays to see if that would give me any indication of the problem but switching relays continues the same problem (tilt goes up, not down) and does not reverse.
See photos. The 1st photo shows the connector that is disconnected. The second picture is of the top portion of the connector, next to its wires going coming out of the relay.
My question is - is this normally a bad wire issue or do I have to replace the relay? The whole relay box? I feel like I have looked at this too long and the answer is right in front of me but I cant see it!
Thanks!
