REFLECTOR: Trim motor

[Brian Michalk]

Pitch trim?

It's probably one of the limit switches built into the ends of the 
tube.  Take it apart, re-spring the switches and reassemble.

El-cheapo way if you get the other failure (not stopping at the 
limits)?  Get a PTC fuse from Digikey.  About 1 amp should be right.  It 
will trip at the overcurrent.

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.
