Hey Guys......the rehab continues with the Stamas. Took it for the maiden trial run the other day and it ran out nice, except for being stern heavy with those beast Hondas. That's my upcoming foam project. But for now, I'm trying to figure out why neither trim gauges are working. They haven't worked from day one of the motor/harness installation. There's nothing about troubleshooting this in the shop manual.
The spring-loaded arms swing freely. I tried ohms between the hot 12v and sending wire on the back of the gauge. I also tested ohms between the sending wire and grd. The meter read OL both times. Then I tried volts between the same sets of wires and got a full 12v between hot and grd, but about 3 volts between hot and the sensor wire.
All of these measurements were taken while a buddy worked the sensor levers up and down.
I'm just throwing darts in the dark. Can anyone advise me on a troubleshooting procedure? I don't want to buy new gauges only to find out the old ones are good, and I still have the same problem.
