REFLECTOR: Trim motor

[Alex Balic]

Ah- yea, if is the pitch trip actuator $280 is about right- I thought you
were talking about the aileron trim motor..... probably just the switches
sticking or loose brush in there-

Chris,
If you are dealing with the pitch trim actuator, here is a simple fix ...
Without dismounting the actuator, disconnect the fiberglass spring, then 
twist the barrel (moving portion) of the actuator a few turns.
That should do the trick.
Let me know if this works for you.
