Need help with my 78 bayliner aq120b 270 tilt wiring
TILT NOT WORKING
Do I have "2 wire" or "3 wire"?

^^the above link says both mechs have 3 wire connector...
i have blue, brown, yellow/green coming from motor
blue and brown are connected to up/down switch left and right terminals
yellow/green is not connected (not sure why)???
Separate purple wire coming from key switch connecting to up/down switch center terminal
the switch its self is good I tested with test light get power to both terminals on switch when flipping.
When I was testing power to switches and checking fuses I put the prob light to the cut yellow/green wire to see if it was power and by completing the circuit I heard a humming (guessing) coming from the tilt motor. I've read many threads on this topic that is so common to these boats. I'm sure my rod is bent/stuck or motor bad but I would like to get my wiring situated before I tear into the mech.
Side note: I have a small black/ground wire about 9" in length small gauge round bolt connector on one end label says "body" (I understand where it goes) and the other end is a terminal connector labeled "fuse" but to what fuse .
Also where is the amber light warning that the leg isn't down all the way I have ran my engine and tested outdrive goes into gear but don't recall ever seeing a light (out of water w/ muffs). I know not to apply any power with it tilted up... It's about 5" out from the lock latch on leg. Which leads back to getting the tilt to work or can I by pass the power tilt and manually lock it up for transport, yes I do have the arm, and all the way down and locked (which I haven't been able to do yet) to run it.
Thank you for any and all help
