REFLECTOR: Trim motor

[Jim Agnew]

Berry, that is a good suggestion since most stick switches are low current and 
relays are generally needed.  I'll add that circuit breakers can open and in 
some cases show full voltage on a sensitive volt meter that will drop to 
basically nothing when loaded.

Hello 
Chris are you using a switch in the grip? If so make sure the wire sizes and
the relay can handled the current. Mine would work when I got on the ground
but not all the time in the air. I made a trim indicator to see if it was
stopping in flight and it was stopping. I had a Ray Allen relay . I replaced
it with a trim relay board from Composite Design and it never failed after
that.

Is there a problem with the trim motor that I am unaware?  My trim has
stopped working. I worked on it most of yesterday checking all the wires,
checking the switch (including try two different switches), verifying the
connections and schematic routings with no joy. Originally I would get
movement if I connected a batter directly to the motor, sometime through the
entire range of movement, sometimes intermentantly. However, now it has
stopped working all together. 

At $280.00 a pop a new one would be very difficult right now. 

Thoughts and/or solutions would be welcome. Uh, solutions other than a new
unit preferred :-)

Finally, a non engine related concern.
