Truck is in transport.  Supposed to have it the 9th of June   :jumpie


As for the boat.  Looks like a fuse at the trim pump that's not happy. I guess it's not happy that things around it are getting attention and it's not.  :laugh  I'm going to pick one up before the weekend so I have something to fix it. Unless I find something ells being the issue.  :rolleyes

I hope it's an easy fix.  Getting to it is another story.  :banghead   Not much room and back against the transom on the port side. Got to lean over the engine around behind the battery. I'm going to try to slide the battery over with it connected to get to it. I will need power to be able test a couple things before I start taking things a part

Never ceases to amaze me how engineers design stuff, things that are common for replacement should have quick access, no reason to bury them. :rolleyes

Well!!!  The plot thickens.  Went out Saturday morning with rest light in hand and checked the fuse. Power to both sides.  :stupid Checked the connections for the limit switch and they were connected.  Climbed out of the engine bay and went to the shifter. Trailer switch worked.  Trim down worked but no trim up.  :stupid  Didn't do anything.  Looking at the connections on the boat side. looked a little questionable so I replaced them. While I had them unplugged I OHM tested the sensor and that was all good. SO I connected everything up and climbed out of the boat. Closed everything up and went and did some research.  This looks to be a common problem of the up side of the switch goes south.  Finding a lot of people use the trailer button to lift the drive and just watch the trim gauge. Then just the trim down button to go back down. Looked up the switch and it's a harness with both trailer and trim switches and a pig tail with a connector. $75  :eek    I will use the trailer and down trim for now and go have some fun.  Worry about it later Like next winter.  :D  :good

That sucks, but at least you can get it to work for now, sounds like that's gonna be a project, sounds like a common problem too, when you get into it may be a good idea to rewire it in a way to eliminate that issue. :good

That's good news, you're finally getting a truck :good , probably waiting for a full load to the dealer, that or waiting for an available hauler, that is a problem these days with the shortage of drivers.

Good possibility the regulator is shot. It's the original alternator.

Truck is home!! Dropped at the dealer this morning. In my driveway tonight. I will get a couple pics in the next couple days.
